SWC Lesson Reflection
The lesson was for Ms. Roopa’s KG2B students, and it took place in her classroom at SIPS. I
planned this lesson as a simple revision of what I previously taught the students, I aimed to
achieve the same learning outcomes. Students will be able to understand the that print conveys
meaning and students will be able listen to, say, and blend –at word family. I began the lesson
by asking a student to come up and answer my questions: “What is that picture?”, “Can you find
me that letter?”, “Can you read that word?” and students will independently match the correct
letter to the picture displayed. After matching the word, the student blend in the sounds and read
the word. For the small activity 1, each table worked as a group to fix the puzzle pieces and
blend the words correctly. the following activity was a short story called “Pat the Cat” and each
student worked alone in circling the “at” words and illustrate the story to how they imagined it.
By now, the students are more familiar with the CVC –at word family which led them finishing
the activities quick. I engaged the students pretty well by having them do what they love which
was collaborate with their fellow classmates and also drawing and coloring.
I knew my lesson met my teaching goals after giving then a Dictation. I assessed the student
while they were working on their dictation, which consisted of four pictures that ended with the
sound –at, and students had to identify it by recalling the name and writing it down quietly.
Assessment helps us gather information about the student’s achievements and weaknesses.
There should be a good balance when using the formative and summative classroom assessment
practices, depending on one more than the other and the successes of your students becomes
unclear (Garrison & Ehringhaus, 2014). Formative assessment main goal is to observe the
child’s learning and progress, and this assessment is advantageous to both the faculty and
students. It helps the students know what their strengths and weaknesses are and what gaps they
need to fill in, it also helps the faculty to know when and how to start addressing the issue.
Whereas Summative assessment goal is to evaluate students learning at the end of the term and
comparing it to previous assessments.
