Dear Colleagues,
The class size comprises of 6 infant learners. The classroom
at present was the WhatsApp platform and the lesson was on ‘rhyming words’.
I could have:
Make more use of students’ prior knowledge and
understanding
Built on students’ prior knowledge
and understanding by sharing and engaging them in familiar nursery
rhymes.
Opportunities for dialogue and considering open questions
Asked the students to identify the
rhyming words as noted in each other
presentations by the use of more open-ended questions, such as in Hickory , Hickory
duck, the mouse ran up the clock,’ which word rhymed with duck?’ Thus, providing
more opportunity to talk and demonstrate their understanding of rhyming words).
Bring the lesson closer to their lives/selves
Provided the opportunity for them to form other rhyming
words uses their personal names as the root words, thus help them to develop
their thinking skill as it related to them and their peers.
