Introduction

I planned today's lesson plan for transacting the content ' Reflection of Light, Regular Reflection and Irregular Reflection’ in the unit ‘Reflection of Light’ of Class 10. My curricular aim was to enable students to get an understanding about Reflection of Light, Regular Reflection and Irregular Reflection and apply it on daily life. My lesson plan has four parts.

1.     Curricular objective followed by the analysis of content, process and evaluation phase of the topic law of definite proportion.

2.     The transactional phase consisting of the activities and analysis of feedback.

3.     Follow up activities.

4.     Blackboard summary

1.Reflection on curricular objectives and related contents

The lesson plan was prepared by analyzing the content of transaction thoroughly. The activities and the transaction phase were planned according to the predetermined objectives. The objectives were planned by considering the content, intellectual level of students and age of students. The required ICT materials were prepared and collected for the smooth content transaction. ICT materials were also downloaded from the internet resources. The prerequisite were identified and written in the lesson plan.

          The lesson plan was written well manner but I failed to write about 2nd law of reflection. The lesson plan contained strategies and activities which were not fitted for the scheduled time since it was a lengthy topic. Also the transnational activities were not able to completed within the available time and time management was poorly done while writing the lesson plan. The explanation phase of class is failed to include in lesson plan. Additional strategies should be planned while writing lesson plan, time management should be improved.

2.     Reflection on the transaction  phase

Introduction of the topic was well presented. It captured attention and arouses interest and motivation to learn. The affective domain characteristic was evoked and the introduction helped to link with the contents easily. In introduction slide, teacher included slides which provided interest and motivation to the child. The transaction phases a contained video of experiments, image presentation and some activities.  Reinforcement given to the students was sufficient. Continuous evaluation of the students was well done. The voice was good and teacher could maintain a better communication and rapport with the students to some extent. Students should be encouraged to ask more questions.

The explanation phase went very poor and teacher failed to explain why a clear of image formation is not taking place in an irregular surface. The slides used to explain regular and irregular reflection was not correct and usage of this slide provided misconceptions in the mind of learner. Additional strategies should be planned and included in live classrooms since it live classes should focus on firsthand experience of students. Gro up activities, demonstration, experiments should be included in further lessons.

The conclusion to the content was sufficient. Knowledge was constructed by the students themselves. Evaluation questions were sufficient and could evoke thinking ability in the students

3.     Follow up activities

Follow up activities are given at the end of the class. Two questions were provided as home assignment to the students. Both slow learners and gifted students can answer the questions, simple and complex questions are given t the end of the class.  Follow-up activities are linked to the next class.

 

4.     Black board skill

Initial blackboard works were not performed. The contents were well organized and hierarchically arranged and written in blackboard. The important points were written in the blackboard which helped students to write it down on their notebooks. Images were given in a logical sequence but I failed to focus on precision while drawing in blackboard. I draw parallel lines which seem like non parallel lines. This created lack of clarity in learner.

Overall performance

The introduction was really good and teacher able to establish a rapport with students.  The whole class aroused interest and motivation to learn. Transaction phase was carried out easily at the first half of class but teacher failed to explain the phenomena of irregular reflection at the second phase of class. Teacher should make conscious efforts to improve her blackboard skills. Class room management was good. New strategies to improve the transaction phase have to be included in future classes. Different class room management techniques involving first hande experience should be included.
