Reflection
This week, you have been focusing on the ways teachers talk
to the children in the classroom. .
Write your reflection about teacher talk.

Write in paragraph form. Write a minimum of 150


words. Use good spelling and grammar. Make sure your
writing shows that you are thinking deeply about your
answers.

Dolphin area
Kids are enjoying this trip
because this course they
have sea chapter and they
love to exploration things.

Discuss the importance of teacher talk (giving


clear instructions and using positive praise) 

Discuss what will be easy for you and what will


be difficult for you about using positive praise nd
giving clear instructions. 

Discuss what happens when a teacher does not


give clear, specific, step-by-step instructions. 

Discuss a time when you received negative praise


from someone. How did it make you feel? Did
your behavior improve?

Discuss a time you got praised for something you


did well. How did it make you feel?

Teacher talk is the first important things in the classroom; teachers


in the classroom should notice what they talk spicily if she teaches
young people. The easy way if I will teach I think that it will be the
talk but not every time, we have to use positive ward that things
have to practice. The deficit way is the look is very difficult for me.
Another things if the teacher gives UN clear instructions students
will not do what teacher want and they will dont now what
teacher need. One day when I was in school, my teacher gives us
exam paper and must of class get low marks, and my friends and I
was get full mark, she take to all students an the class and she says
why they get this marks and she dont tall us any thing. When I do
will in any thing I proud for my self and happy.
