1. Were the aims of the lesson achieved? Why/ Why not?
Yes, they were achieved. They knew tree colours and they learn new one “yellow”.
2. What were the most effective parts of the lesson?
The most effective part of lesson was games when all children can play and sing.
3. What were the least effective parts of the lesson?
The least effective part of the lesson was colouring the picture.
4. Were there any anticipated problems? How were they dealt with?
Yes, there were some problems because this lesson was on video tape. I think that both: I and my students were a little bit nervous. Some of the students weren’t as concentrate as they used to be. They looked around what is happening. I tried to change students active, I talked “Look, what we have here” and I finished colouring earlier.
5. What aspects of my teaching do I need to improve? How will I improve them?
I should get used to work with camera because this was extremely stressful for me.
