NEXT LESSON: MINI PRESENTATION TO BE PRESENTED TO THE PARENTS
Hann_A_S251635_ECL300_ A2
Page 26
Reflection:
The lesson plan I made is designed for young children where play is being used to grasp the ideas for my lessons. Each lesson is
designed to be engaging and fun to maximize children’s learning of literacy. There is a cross curriculum involved where they learn
Maths, Drama and The Arts in the given lessons. The whole series of lessons is based on the book Goldilocks and the Three
Bears. First, the children learn the story of the book, and as it progresses, it teaches them how to act out the story and the
sequencing of the story. It also teaches the parts of the story and how to write the story. This introduces the learning’s of capital,
small letters and the punctuations comma, full stop and question mark. Finally, students have a mini presentation of the story.
As I reflect with my lesson plan, oral language had been given importance in developing literacy with the children. The child’s
language development is one of the most important preconditions of literacy (Snow, Burns, Griffin, 1998). In my activities, the
children are given the opportunity to use skills in speaking, listening, reading and writing. It is well provided with rich literacy
resources that cater for all children in the class. The teacher uses modern technology through the use of smart board for easy
access of activities. Support will be given to those students who are struggling in the lesson and student diversity will be
acknowledged in my classroom. Again, there is a link between play and literacy development, supporting the theory for planning
literacy-rich environments (Marsh and Hallett, 1999; Marsh and Millard 2000; Roskos and Christie, 2000). Play integrates
speaking, listening, reading and writing, combined with hands on activities, and provides context for meaningful literacy practices.
Hann_A_S251635_ECL300_ A2
Page 27
It is even guided by Vygotsky (1978) that symbolic play, drawing and writing can be combined in the process for the development of
written language. Literacy is also linked to social play and The Arts (Dyson, 1992). It is understood the young children’s writing
relates to exploratory play where it uses symbolic representation.
At the end of each lesson, I use an assessment in order to help me understand if the children have grasped the concept before
considering the next step. The following questions will help the teachers focus and gain more knowledge and can make the lesson
plan more flexible. As based on (Owocki & Goodman, 2002) the questions used in the assessment include: is the child successful
in getting tasks done? Does the child need further support? Does the child appear comfortable? Is the child confused? Does the
child work alone? Does the child prefer to work with others?
In conclusion, I would like to impart my knowledge from the learning’s I have learnt from this unit to the children. I will continue to
grow professionally and update my skills to become an effective educator in the 21st century.
