Direct Instruction
We are learning to describe in detail the setting of our story. We think about what do I see, hear, smell and feel.
The focus of this lesson was for children to discuss the setting of the story and learn new words that will help them to do this.
Reflection
This lesson went very well the learners were engaged and made great connects to pervious learning. It was a small group as I do not have many learners at this level at the moment and one learner was away today. I could see that the students are now making connections to our pervious learning and that is very positive. I do feel like I could have been more creative with the delivery but I felt the conversation was so productive and interesting for the kids, so it remained the focus.
Things to note
The camera angle was not great.
