Reflection – Notes to Self What worked well? Why? What didn’t work? Why? What changes would you make if you taught this lesson again?  ????

Teacher walks around the classroom during the class to check for student understanding. 5 minutes extra for any stage of the lesson that might need an additional time. Notes for this lesson: An extra presentation and a video can be used if we have extra class time.  Teacher walks around the classroom during the class to check for student understanding. Teacher needs to remember to go slow, since today is the very first lesson of the learning Chinese. Reflection: Students were having difficulty pronouncing some of the sounds. Students need to practice more on the four tones. Students enjoyed the “Let it go!” song. Maybe I should have them sing it in front of the class. (Or Maybe have them to sing in front of the school.)

* Remember that the maximum attention span of the learner is approximately the age of the learner up to 20 minutes. The initial lesson cycle (gain attention/activate prior knowledge, provide input and elicit performance/provide feedback) should not take more than 20 minutes. The second cycle (provide input and elicit performance/provide feedback) should be repeated as needed and will vary depending on the length of the class period.
