Date: 2/11/2015 Time: 8:00 am to 10:00 am (2 hours) Name: Maryam Al Shamsi

Learning goals: Description of Activities:
LO 1: Building relationships with children, 1. Circle Time activity:
families and colleagues. Let students sit in the circle and pass the teddy-bear around and talk about
their school memory. (What was the school like for you? Best memory/worst
Essential Questions: memory? Who was your best teacher? And why or what she did to be your
How building a relationship with children, best teacher?).
families and colleagues will help you to be a
future teacher? 2. Brainstorming:
From the teaching practice observations, students (in pairs) will create a mind
map of some strategies that their mentor school teachers used to build the
relationship with children, families and colleagues. Then present it.

3. Short Prezi presentation about building a relationship with children, families

and colleagues. From the presentation, students can add the missing points in
their mind map if they miss anything. Finally, they will post their mind maps as a
blog in BB9 (BlackBoard).
Assessment:
Interview (by use recording app) with the mentor school teacher about how she builds a relationship with children, families and
colleagues.
Write a reflection of how to build relationships with children, families and colleagues.
The rubrics of interview and reflection are attached in BB9.
