Observation task 4: Planning and preparing for learning

Teacher activity	Learner activity	Time spent
Teacher arranges the centers to students go to do the activity. She gives the instructions and gives a quick demonstration of how to do it. Teacher starts the activity take same students and teach them alone	Learners listen to the teacher, and they go to centers. Learners start the activity, and talk together to finish it. And they go to another center do another activity.	6 mins 15 mins

How the teacher planned?

*How do you plan? Do you plan weekly, daily, as part of a team or individually? When planning I first plan with my other English teachers to come up with ideas for the weeks theme. I then take these ideas and plan with my Arabic co teacher. We plan once a week.

*Do you do anything you haven’t planned to do? Yes often we do things that we don't plan to do, it depends on the children and what they are enjoying and not enjoying.

*Do you plan to do the same thing with all the children in the classroom? (Why/Why not? We plan the same activities for all the children but we differentiate so that all children can complete task.

Reflection4

The planning is very important to know if the students don’t understand she should change her strategy and how The information reached the students in a way easier and simpler. I think before I planning we should what the students they know and we should use easy way to students understand. Today I observe the teacher they didn’t have plane because there are tired and the students play in the centers and review. I fell it will be easy when I plan and know there levels. I learn the plan is very important for teachers and they should do it and if the students understand you should change the strategy must you have many strategies for teaching.

what I will feel in teaching practice

In the beginning I will discuss what I feel when I go teaching practice. I will excited change my daily routine and returne to home half past twelve. Also I will take skills to finish my assessment. I will enjoy with children. I will take background about teaching. I will remember my child hood mime race. And I will learn how to make positive environment in the calss.  

But and I feel worried about students will not interact with me. Also I worried I can't communicate with children. I can't deal with teacher and children. And I worried about forget information to write about observation.
