Reflection 2
How you would manage if your MST did not
take such an active role in the class? How do you think it would change
what your practice in the lesson and why? Can you provide an example
where her (and the AMT) intervention affected your lesson – positively or
negatively?
In this Reflection I will write about my literacy lesson I
did last week on the 11th of Oct, Wednesday. My lesson was about
letter Ss and the body parts. I started the lesson by listening to a song about
All about Me. And then I moved on to a shared reading with the students and
playing with words activity. After the reading activity I introduced the letter
of the week lesson to the students and played the song of sound that the
students sing almost every day. And then I made a game called mystery bag game
where the student will come and pick one object out of the bag and name it,
they really enjoyed the activity because they don’t know what’s coming from the
bag. Later on I made the students play an activity about looking for the right
letter from the board where each two students will play against each other and
who finds the letter first gets a point. Before going to the centers I gave the
students a basket that has colored badges where every student will pick his
group color that they already know and before moving to the centers I model the
activity to them and then ask each group to move to their tables.
During the lesson my MST and t5he AMT plays a big role since
they are watching the students for me and try to manage their behavior
sometimes during my lesson. I think if my MST did not take an active role like
she does usually I would focus more on using behavior charts with the students or
I would use different materials to get their attention whenever I lose it from
them. it will make a big change if the MST was not involved because some
students might pay attention to other thing or will lost the track like when it
happened during the shared reading time in this lesson and the MST helped the
student to find the correct page. I think that the MST and AMT being around in
the classroom is helpful sometimes because in the last few lessons I had a
problem with a student called Hamad. Hamad always act differently and its hard
to manage his behavior sometimes so the AMT helped me managing his behavior during
the lesson and tried to stop him from distracting other students with his behavior.
