Reflections from Richard Sibeko's
lesson:
- Poetry lesson Refugee
- Relationships with students
vary – made it difficult for RS to “connect” with the class because he was
not teaching his class
- Children come from an
environment where the child has no say at all, making it difficult to get
a response from them
- Called on students to recall
the elements of poetry – Good thing
- CK – Guiding questions to
guide the students with analysis. There is no right way to do things
esp in English
- OM – this does not happen
with all young teachers – being able to control the class and deliver your
lesson
- KM – share the “idiots
guide” for poetry – share with the Setswana Dept
- Rephrasing of the question –
there is something wrong with the question if you are not getting a
response from the children – begin with “How do I feel?”
- Standing in the middle
of the class – disengaging with the rest of the class
- Bring material down to their
level without dropping the standard - excellent
- Students translating the
poem to their mother tongue, however, they ask for the English translation
in Setswana class
- Making the lesson memorable.
Make a picture and bring it back to their personal experience
- Don’t be afraid of having
FUN!
- Young teachers – role model
for the students
