(Reflect on the lesson. What worked? What did not work? What would you change? Why? Only complete this section if you
actually taught the lesson)

Did the students enjoy the lesson?

Did the language on the white board help the students? (maybe ask the students this)

Was there enough of an introduction

Did I need to know the ipads better.

Lesson Evaluation:
(Reflect on the lesson. What worked? What did not work? What would you change? Why? Only complete this
section if you actually taught the lesson)

Did the students enjoy the lesson?

Yes I think so there was not a huge amount of talking and the talking I did hear was about parliament
house and relevant.

Did the students put effort into their plan?

Yes, they did but the plans where not structured properly, they had paragraphs like a story and not
so effective.

Maybe writing an example.

Did the language on the white board help the students? (maybe ask the students this)
I actually forgot to do this and had to be reminded then I asked the students to do it as they found
new words. This was ok but I should have gone over and corrected the spelling and writing of these.
