I taught my first lesson this afternoon. Having planned a starter it was pointed out to me by the class's main teacher that I had actually planned a lesson, with starter, main task and plenary.
I have realised that if what the class is doing is of value and the class are getting a lot from it then adapting your plan to continue with it. I was wary of time but as the girls were really engaged with the tasks so I we stayed with it and I was pleased with what they produced.
After the lesson I debriefed with the main class teacher who gave me some great feedback which is of real use and will certainly be applied in the future. I think the main thing I will take from the feedback I was given is that I shouldn't rush to get my instructions out and get on with the lesson. It could have maybe benefited from establishing myself by waiting for silence before giving my instructions, this would have set the tone more and shown "who's boss".
All in all very pleasing first lesson and lots to work on going forward!
