Reflection of my Fifth lesson

 Topic: Name of the clothes                        Class: PP

Now that, the school is equipped with ICT facilities and also with internet connections, every teachers plan their lesson integrating ICT. I have noticed that most teachers in my school take their children to ICT classroom whenever the room is free. I am also one among them who visits ICT room. I have begun to feel that teaching children integrating ICT is much easier and fruitful for both teacher and student.

On 18^th November, 2021, I took children of Pre-Primary children to ICT room to teach children on the topic ‘Clothes’. It was in the first period. My lesson objectives were, by the end of the lesson the child will be able to:

a. Name clothes they wear in schools and at home correctly after teacher’s demonstration.

b. tell about  their favorite clothes.

 I actually wanted to show them the video lesson on clothes that is given in the link. Before I actually started my lesson, I have written the topic on the white board and drew some pictures of clothes on the boards. I asked them whether they know what they see, followed by inviting children to show clothes they wear while in schools.

 

After that, I have shown them the video, as given in the link in Instructional guide. https://:youtu.be/8e9fcZeh-oM.  There the children were taught about other clothes too such as, jackets, trousers, skirts etc.  Next, I made some of them talk about their favorite clothes. I have observed that, children were so happy to talk about their best clothes.

  

As a small classroom activity, I have called each students in pair in front of the class, and made them say names of some common clothes they wear by pointing out what his/ her friend is wearing. I have stressed more on the national dress and highlighted on importance and uniqueness of out national dress. while, I also provided help to those who struggled in the activity. they were also educated on where and why it's necessary to wear gho and kira while visiting places such as offices, schools, lhakhangs and dzongs.

All the children were active throughout the lesson and displayed full energy to learn. Everybody seemed to have understood the lesson, and enjoyed the activity. I was satisfied since my lesson objectives were achieved. However, it was not that, there was not any problem. There were few things I need to take care in my next lesson. Firstly, since the internet was slow, the link took a little longer to open than I expected delaying the lesson timing.  Moreover, the speaker stopped to work due to come  connection issues, children had difficulty in hearing with low sound.  I shall take care of this in my next lesson.
