On 29th October, 2021 I taught English lesson in class III. The
topic of my lesson was “our Tree” (poem) by Marchette
Chute. I introduced the lesson topic and made children aware of the lesson
objectives. It was taught through reading aloud of the poem by the teacher from
anthology of song and rhyme . Before I started my lesson, I checked
the prior knowledge of my students through asking questions. First I used
attention grabber (quiet signal) to gain children’s attention. Then I asked the
questions one by one and made children to give the responses.
Examples:
1.
What do you see around our school
campus? Expected answer: classroom, toilet, water tap, trees, flowers etc.
2.
What things do you see that are
green in colour? Trees.
So today we are going to learn about Our Tree by Marchette Chute. Introduce
the topic to the students and then Read Aloud the poem to the students with
correct pronunciation, fluency and rhythm. After the teacher’s read aloud then
do shared reading of the poem with the students.
It was really interesting and fun learning for the children.
After that students were divided into teams and then made them to recite
the poem followed by some other activities.
Children were very much excited to learn the ICT integrated activity
which was really inspiring and motivating for me as well as for my children.
The children were taken to the ICT room to have hands on activity i.e illustrating each stanza of the
poem. Each team was given a stanza to illustrate it using ICT.
Through this lesson almost 90 percent of the children were motivated to
learn and engage actively in their activities. It has been a great learning
experience for all the children and was even inspired and motivated to have ICT
hands on activity.
The overall
lesson went quite well and I’m satisfied with my lesson. I was able to fulfill
the objective of my lesson. So, as a teacher I believe that teaching is more
fun when it is child centered. We need to motivate the learners by making the
activities interesting. To have an effective teaching and learning we need to
integrate ICT as strategies so that children will participate actively in the
class.
