Today I taught a lesson that I planned with another member of the English Department.
The lesson itself went well, however it over ran slightly as the quality of discussion taking place concerning the poem 'Half-Caste' was so good and it was difficult to move it on.
One of the key things I took from the process of planning the lesson with the AST, was that lessons should try to target all learning styles. For instance; making sure of having visual and aural stimuli and trying to get pupils to write/note down their discussions.
When pupils have to write, it is essential that I model and show examples of the kind of writing. Pupils need to know the expectations I have of them otherwise I risk being disappointed when I receive the the bare minimum from some pupils.
