Objectives, Methods, Assessment Criteria, and Evaluation of Own Lesson-4 components of good Lesson Plan

Happy to help! 1. Objectives. Number one criteria of a good lesson plan? Objectives. What, specifically, do you want your students to be able to do (or know) after your lesson? "By the end of this lesson, students will be able to employ three organizational strategies when writing personal essays," etc. 2. Methods. How will you teach the lesson. Detailed outline of your approach--activities, content, strategies. 3. Assessment. How will you assess whether your students "got it"? A quiz, an activity, an exercise, a paper? What will you use to know whether your objectives were met? 4. Evaluation. This is the "winner" in setting apart the good lesson plans from the great ones! How will you evaluate--not your students--but your own lesson? What went well? What went poorly? What will you try differently next time? The best teachers are always learning. I really hope this helps. (And don't forget that last component--evaluation of your own lesson! It will set you apart!) Good luck!

Introduction to School-based Assessment

Introduction to School-based Assessment

School-based assessment (SBA) is an assessment which is embedded in the teaching and learning process. It has a number of important characteristics which distinguish it from other forms of assessment:

• It involves the teacher from the beginning to the end: from planning the assessment programme, to identifying and/or developing appropriate assessment tasks right through to making the assessment judgments.
• It allows for the collection of a number of samples of student performance over a period of time.
• It can be adapted and modified by the teacher to match the teaching and learning goals of the particular class and students being assessed.
• It is carried out in ordinary classrooms.
• It is conducted by the students' own teacher.
• It involves students more actively in the assessment process, especially if self and/or peer assessment is used in conjunction with teacher assessment.
• It allows the teacher to give immediate and constructive feedback to students.
• It stimulates continuous evaluation and adjustment of the teaching and learning programme.
• It complements other forms of assessment, including external examinations.

In many educational systems, such as those of Australia, Canada, the UK and Finland, SBA is used extensively or exclusively to provide information about student achievement. In Hong Kong, SBA has been a part of the public examinations system since 1978, when it was first introduced into the HKALE AL examination for Chemistry so that there could be an assessment of laboratory work. By 2006, school based assessment had been implemented in 13 'A' Level subjects and 13 Certificate of Education subjects, including English language. SBA became a core component of the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination (HKCEE) in English Language in 2005-07, and was then revised and extended for the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE). SBA will be progressively incorporated into all 24 subjects.

The school-based assessment in the Hong Kong public examination system can be accessed on the HKEAA website at:http://www.hkeaa.edu.hk/en/sba/sba_hkdse

More learning takes place when kids are having fun!

Games to play with teenagers in the English classroom.

---

A great vocabulary revision game:

1. Divide the class into two teams each standing in line at the board.
2. Give them a topic like food and drink, sports, countries etc (they must be very large lexical sets).
3. The student at the front on each line runs to the board and must write a word in this lexical set beginning with A on the board.
4. She then hands the chalk or pen to the next person in the row (and runs to the back of the line), who adds a word beginning with B until they reach Z.
5. If they cannot think of a word beginning with a particular letter they can leave a space, but the team with most words at the end is the winner.

Example of a board during a game:

An activity for all levels and forms....

Playing games can distress both teachers and students. In fact the kids learn more through games. Try the game below to increase vocabulary but most importantly just have fun.   

Chain Spelling (Shiri-tori)

Level: Easy to MediumThe teacher gives a word and asks a student to spell it, and then a second student should say a word beginning with the last letter of the word given. The game continues until someone makes a mistake, that is, to pronounce the word incorrectly, misspell it or come up with a word that has been said already, then he/she is out. The last one remaining in the game is the winner.
This game can be made difficult by limiting the words to a certain category, e.g.. food, tools, or nouns, verbs, etc.

"BENGKEL TEKNIK MENJAWAB SPM" for English (of course)

It is that time of the year, when all the schools are busy looking for speakers for the annual program "Bengkel Teknik Menjawab SPM / PMR" for the students. Every year I get a number of calls from many of you to speak to your students which I simply have to decline because of reasons that can't be disclosed. But this year I have my teachers in my school who are "willing" to carry out this session. Do contact me at 0193528502 (Pn.Shantini) for further information.

If you still need me to help you out, I might be able to do it under the banner of "Creative Writing"  for your A students who are aiming for A+.

Hope this lights up some of your paths.
