Learners work in groups to discuss images they brought from home related to the topic ‘Summer’.
Learners will discuss what they like to do, where they like to go and what they enjoy eating in
summer. Learners can link the discussion to the December school holidays.
7. LESSON OBJECTIVE(S):
7.1 PRE-KNOWLEDGE
(Write down learners’ existing knowledge, skills and values.)
At the start of this lesson learners should already know the four different seasons, the different
weather changes that occur in each season and be able to name the different clothing and food
items that go with each season.
By the end of the lesson learners should be able to discuss what they like about summer, name
what they like to eat and what they like to wear.
This lesson may be incorporated into a topic about the different weather conditions that can be
experienced in different seasons
7.5 DIFFERENTIATION
(Briefly describe how you will present this lesson taking the following aspects into consideration)
8. LESSON PHASES:
8.3 CONSOLIDATION
(Give a detailed description of how you plan to end the lesson by 8.3.1 Time allocated:
explaining how you will consolidate the new knowledge, incorporate
assessment of the objectives and wrap up. If applicable, mention here 10 minutes
any HOMEWORK/FUNWORK that you will give the learners.):
8.3.2 LTSM:
(Describe the resources and media
you will be using in the consolidation
Learners are instructed to paint a picture of one thing they enjoy phase of the lesson)
doing the most in summer. Learners paint and are encouraged to
write a short sentence with the words from the literacy corner. • Paper, paint
Learners are encouraged to write sentences by themselves, the
teacher will only assist where learners struggle.
9. ASSESSMENT
At the end of the lesson, I will assess whether the learners have achieved the objectives in the following
ways (tick the appropriate blocks):
10. REFLECTION
Briefly reflect on your lesson by discussing its strengths (what went well), its weaknesses (what did not
work), what did you find challenging, if the lesson objectives were met and what would you improve if you
had to teach this lesson again. Use the following questions to guide your reflection:
• Describe aspects of your lesson that worked really well.
Most of the learners were engaged in the discussion about what they saw on the poster, they
also enjoyed tasting the summer fruit and were able to describe the taste (sweet or bitter).
Assigning roles in the groups helped shy learners break out of their comfort zone and the
timekeepers were invested in the role they were given.
• Which areas of your lesson did not go according to plan? Explain why you think this may have
happened.
There was insufficient time awarded for the main activity because some learners were working
slowly and each learner wanted to share their story.
• Look again at your lesson objectives. Did you meet them? Why/why not?
Lesson objectives were met because in the consolidation learners were able to refer back to the
literacy wall to look for a word they could use to describe the painting they were working on.
• What did you learn about the learners in your class today?
Learners can perform a task with sufficient support and time, all the learners had something to
contribute to the group activity.
• What was your most challenging moment in this lesson and why? How will you respond next time?
Maintaining discipline during a group activity is always a challenge as some learners can get
carried away and steer away from the said task. Having timekeepers helps with time
management and focus but the teacher needs to constantly step in and remind learners of the
task.
• To what extent were the learners productively engaged in the learning process? Discuss.
Learners were actively engaged in the activity as they were able to discuss what they like to do
in the summer. Learners were able to work together to collate a short story about their poster to
report back to the class.
• If you had the opportunity to teach this lesson again to this same group of learners, what would you do
differently? Why?
I would spread the lesson over two lessons because there was a lot to unpack about the topic
but there was insufficient time and as a result, the lesson had to be rushed through.
• What evidence/ feedback do you have that the learners achieved an understanding of the lesson
objective(s)?
The learners were successfully able to paint and write short sentences to describe their
paintings.
