Learning Task 1 : Analyzing Children's Learning

Describe the central focus and purpose of the content you will teach in the learning segment.

Questioning prompts can be used at any stage of language acquisition, when using it for this stage the student will be required to respond to “why” questions when looking at sequential events from the text or when requested to do a summation of the previous read text. Students at this stage would be appropriate to pair with learners at the beginning level stage of pre-production.

I will prepare students for the day's lesson by quickly summarizing the order of various activities planned. Explain, for example, that a review of the previous lesson will be followed by new information and that both groups will be expected. I will give follow-up directions. For example, provide oral and written instructions when going outside and what expectations are needed for them.

To see if the students have a general understanding of the topic and an introduction to the lesson, I will review the Do Now with the class and ask for student answers.

I will provide students with visuals, auditory and hands on activities. If I have to explain any of the procedures all over again I will. I will provide the students with a different activity that deals with the same concept.

Write a response for each of these activities. At the end of the lesson, click the link on the final screen to open the Student Answer Sheet. Use the sample answers to evaluate your own work.

Learning Outcome: Outcome 3: Children have a strong sense of wellbeing. Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved

List the procedures that will be included in the lesson and attach copies of related materials when appropriate. What is it that you are going to do? Describe the activity, provide example of materials/picture of materials to be used in the lesson.

Communication- in this section the student was tested on her articulation of speech and her verbal response to questions as well as some basic listening

The score that demonstrated mastery were three’s and fours. “Almost there” students scored two’s and “not yet” students scored ones. The first narrative writing, three students scored ones, while the rest of the class scored twos for the narrative form. In conventions, two students scored one’s, and ten students scored a two. The second test resulted in four students scoring a one, nine students scoring a two, and three students scoring a four, for form. In conventions, six students scored a one, two students

Before the students began the assessment, I explained how they will use the different strategies they have been learning to solve addition and subtraction problems on the worksheet. I expressed how this worksheet will let me know if we need more practice with any strategy that we have learned so far. I continued to go over the various components of the assessment. I began by declaring that there are only five problems they need to solve and each problem has directions above it. I emphasized the importance of reading the instructions because the problems ask you to solve the equation is different ways. I also communicated that I will be circulating the room to ensure that there are no wandering eyes. Also, that I will be there to help students understand the directions. In my class this school year there are 8 English Language Learners who may be able to read the directions but could have trouble understanding them. I explained that I will not tell them how to use the strategy or tell them the answer but I will provide help in terms of understanding what is being asked.

Read the instructions for the following activities and type in your responses. Click the link to the Student Answer Sheet at the end of the lesson. Use the answers or sample responses to evaluate your own work.

My sample will include between fifty and sixty, Year One and Two, pupils who will be observed in the classroom. Additionally, my sample will also include between ten and twenty members of Key Stage One staff, who I will informally interview about their views on attitudes towards learning in Key Stage One.
