Group Prepared Teaching Task 2

Group Prepared Teaching Task 2

• Dance from text - extract from
• A Midsummer Nights Dream by William Shakespeare

2
Evaluation of aspects of Dance Composition Lesson

• Having read extracts concerned with the
  Mechanicals from the play, pupils were required
  to determine the character of Nick Bottom, the
  weaver, and to compose a phrase of dance that
  suggested aspects of his personality.
• The following identifies aspects of the lesson
  that I thought were successful and aspects that
  were not!

3
Motivation

• I explained the task clearly and the girls worked
  purposefully exploring the text for clues to
  Bottoms character.
• Some girls needed more help with the task I
  should have been prepared for this.

4
Progression

• Girls suggested some appropriate movement ideas,
  I asked for additional images. This wasted time
  the movements were sufficient.
• My voice is audible over low level noise.

5
Interaction

• I think that I encourage the girls to discuss
  their ideas because they know that I will listen
  to what they have to say.
• Sometimes discussions take longer than I allow
  for in my plans.

6
Demonstration

• I described the task clearly and the girls were
  able to understand easily because of the
  demonstration.
• I need to explain more concisely and not repeat
  myself.

7
Feedback

• I circulate well and give most pupils some
  feedback every lesson.
• Sometimes I need to ask the pupils for solutions
  to problems instead of supplying all of the
  answers myself.

8
Conclusion

• I am pleased with the clarity and audibility of
  my voice. I think that I use demonstration
  appropriately. I am a good listener and I give
  helpful feedback.
• I need to be more concise when setting
  tasks/explaining etc ensuring that my comments
  relate directly to the learning outcomes. I need
  to challenge all.
