Post- Teaching Reflective Summary

After teaching the lesson on "has" and "have," I noticed both positive outcomes and areas for improvement. I started the lesson with a song that engaged the students and provided an enjoyable introduction to the topic. The students participated enthusiastically, and the song's repetitive structure helped them remember how to use "has" and "have."

During the presentation phase, using physical objects made the lesson more interactive and relatable. Many students could correctly form sentences like "I have" and "She/He has." However, some students needed extra help to understand the difference between singular and plural subjects. The visual aids displayed on the board effectively clarified the rules, and students readily gave examples during this part of the lesson. Initially, I worried that the content might be too simple, but I realized it was appropriate, especially considering the slower learners in the class.

In the practice activity, students successfully constructed sentences using the prompts from the textbook. The group work fostered collaboration and peer learning, with students who initially struggled gaining confidence from working with their classmates. In the production stage, most students created their own sentences using "has" and "have," demonstrating their understanding of the concept. I monitored their work and provided immediate feedback to correct any misunderstandings.

However, I struggled to give individual attention to all students, particularly some of the slower learners. Additionally, because the activities were easy for some, they completed them quickly and waited for further instruction. In the future, I should prepare more advanced activities for the gifted students. Overall, the lesson met its objectives, as students learned to differentiate between "has" and "have" and used them correctly. Moving forward, I plan to include more visual and auditory aids for students who need extra support, and allocate more time for the production stage to encourage creativity and real-life application of the concept.

Post-Teaching Reflective Summary

The lesson on writing paragraphs about "My Pet" was engaging and effective. Students participated actively, developing their descriptive writing skills and creativity. The "Setting the Scene" stage grabbed their attention, and the guessing game encouraged interaction, though more participation would have been great with extra time. Using visual aids during the Presentation stage helped students understand paragraph structure and vocabulary. Group discussions promoted teamwork and idea sharing. In the Practice stage, task sheets allowed students to collaboratively create coherent paragraphs, boosting their confidence. The Production stage fostered creativity by letting students write about their dream pets. While many students constructed sentences well, some struggled, limiting their involvement. For future lessons, better time management is needed to ensure all students can complete tasks. Offering sentence starters for those who need help can keep everyone engaged. Also, providing time for group feedback after presentations would enhance learning. Overall, students enjoyed the lesson, gained confidence, and showed creativity. Follow-up activities will reinforce their understanding in a fun way.
