Haruka’s lesson study (1/9)

Issues to consider

・How does the teacher try to get students interested in the contents?

・Can the teacher give a short and simple explanation of the activity?

・How does the teacher teach the contents in Japanese? Is the balance of using English and Japanese suitable?

What I learned

I learned three things today.

First, I learned that it is very important to have the meaning of each activities. In my lesson, the students did ordering activity,  but their brain didn’t work. I think it was just work, so I will change the way of the activity to understand the aim of the activity foe the students. I want them to know the process of making Japanese sweet.

Second, I found that it is effective to wait a moment, because the students were sometimes noisy. If I wait a moment to attract their attention, they become to listen carefully. Also, I think that I have to do some techniques. For example, clap my hands. I didn’t have these techniques, but I will try them tomorrow.

Third, the slides help their understanding. I was helped by my materials, because they shows the meaning of the words with the pictures. In my Japanese class, the projector didn’t work well, so I was very confused. I want to prepare some way to project on the screen. In my lesson, I showed the slide to write a reflection, but I wasn’t able to show instructions and some example at the same time. The students wanted to know both of them, so I will make the slide that they can see some information at the same time.
