Writing a Reflection                                                             Name: Khuloud Ali

Select
After snack time, students seem difficult. Mohammed is a student who is hard to control.  He was walking around when I tried to get his attention. He  is such a good student because he could do what you expect him to do. However, sometimes he won't cooperate with you. He will ignore you and do whatever he wants. He never mind if the teacher put him in the  naughty chair.  I think that because he gets used to.
Here is Mohammed who has been excluded from the activities by the teacher

Describe
At Al-Dewan  Kg, I had to have a training in KG1 class. I had to teach this class for an hour. After break time, the students were very active and hard to control. At the opening, I showed them a video about shapes, and Mohammed was moving around, and he disperses everybody. I had to stop the movie and ask him to set down.

Analyze

I think that occurred because Mohammed wants to move and he had an extra energy. I understand his issues after snack time. I think that's happened because he wants to move and talk, and I planned for a video, for visual learners. I tried to get his attention by calling his name and asking him questions, it works for a while but again I lost his attention.


Appraise
Having a lesson after a break time is not an excuse for  bad lessons.  The students should get involved in the lesson, be interested and engaged. Using positive ways to control the student works for a long time. According to Dewey,  "children do what they are interested about, and the teacher should observe them to see their interest". (Gaido, 1960)
Transform
For the next lesson,  I will  take Mohammed and let him be the leader, I will let him sit next to me and observe  the students' behavior. From that, he will understand how to act well.  Also, I will let him tell me what he likes to do and I will try to see what he is interested in, to plan for an interesting lesson for the most students. Hopefully, he will act well at the next time.
