Competency A Professionalism and Understanding:
You demonstrated very satisfactory professionalism. You seem to have established very
good rapport with the learners, peers, and MST. It was very encouraging to see the MST
involved in providing scaffolding during the main activity.


Category B Planning for Learning:
A satisfactory lesson plan was provided before the lesson but not as per TP booklet
instructions. You need to express the learning outcomes in behavioural terms - to state what
the learners should be able to do by the end of the lesson. The accompanying teaching aids
were very well done.

Category C Implementing and Managing Learning:
The lesson began very promptly with a quick tool call. Then the learners were engaged in a
treasure hunt game to find card with the key vocabulary to elicit the lessons topic and
objectives. The learners thoroughly enjoyed the game and found all the color-coded cards
with - PPT; TRANSITION; ANIMATION. Then the students were engaged in a story presenting
the need for the skills being presented. The follow-up Q & A teacher led class discussion was
a great idea - the learners were able to follow along. The quick review of previously covered
information worked very well. The there was a teacher exposition of the lesson's 'Big Ideas'
using PPT. The animated video playback to demonstrate the steps to insert transitions and
animations into slides on a PPT slide show was very effective. Most of the students were
able to insert an image of a computer and animate it with a sound on the transition. The
plenary involved a quick review of the main ideas covered - a volunteer learner provided a
very satisfactory quick summary of the main points covered. Then the homework -
Worksheet - 6 p. 23. Then a the honor for the best performer was presented. With time to
spare the learner were asked to make a head start on their homework before the bell.
