Procedure of Lesson: - write a plan for the lesson which includes the following:

Remember that anyone should be able to use this plan to present the lesson, so it is essential that the
information is clear and detailed.

is not the mother tongue. Indicate any possible changes to the lesson plan.
Implementation of the lesson: - write a detailed implementation – everything that happened during the
lesson – as soon as possible after the lesson.
Interpretation of the implementation: - complete as soon as possible after the lesson was carried out
with the child(ren), relating back to the learning outcomes and the implementation to determine the
effectiveness of the lesson.
Personal Learning: - reflect on how the lesson went. Consider your own learning about the lesson and
its implementation and note any possible future modification – improvement, refinements or extensions to
the materials and/or the presentation (remember – it’s an individual work and it’s about the lesson
carried out and not how you do the assignment)
Reference: - include any book/ resource used in the preparation and delivery of the lesson, as well as for
the evaluation.
