Lesson Plan Report
INTRODUCTION
The
lesson was on water-borne diseases and their effects on the economy. With
the help of the teacher, the students were able to come out with articles
on water-borne diseases and their effects on the economy. The outlines
of the articles were presented in a PowerPoint slide show.
SUCCESSES AND CHALLENGES
The
students made an immense contribution. They enjoyed using search engines
like yahoo, google to search for information and materials from the Internet.
The students were very active during this lesson as compared to normal
class. Again, students were excited to see their outlines presented on
PowerPoint for the first time. This has gingered the students to be very
serious with their computer lessons. On the other hand, we faced problems
with connectivity when students were searching for information on the net.
This affected the time allocated for the lesson.
CLASSROOM ORGANIZATION AND
LOGISTICS
The
classroom was organised in such a way that I had access to all the students
while they were working.Some students were not able to complete their work
within the stipulated time because it was the first time for some of them.I
did the supervision all alone and it was very tedious dealing with such
a large class.
SUGGESTED CHANGES
If
I had to teach the lesson again, I would prepare the students adequately
before bringing them to the lab so that prcious time wouldn't be lost during
the lessons in the computer lab.I suggest to teachers who want to try this
lesson to consult other colleagues to assist them in order to meet the
class size.
FEEDBACK
The
students responded well to the lesson.The school's administration was very
pleased and is now working towards helping other teachers to integrate
technology into their lessons.
ASSESSMENT
The
students were assessed for good and orderly presentation, content of the
essay, grammar and spelling. The lesson was successful in that students
saw the need to increase their vocabulary, presentation. and Grammar. The
students felt very relieved. They realized that a way has been paved for
them in connection with their assignments. They were able to cover much
within 90 minutes even though the lesson was interrupted. A few were able
to finish in time; Extra time was given to those who did not finish to
finish off.
