Types of Food

 

Reflection of lesson on Types of food in grade IV

Lesson overview

I uploaded grade IV Science video lesson on “Types of Food.” I planned and prepared the video lesson using Camtasia studio. The PowerPoint lesson was prepared first. Followed by the voice explanation was inserted using the Camtasia studio. Overall, to me the lesson was understandable and convincing catering the needs of diverse students as this lesson contains voice, photos and words.  

Strength of the lesson

My voice was audible and clear so that the students could hear it properly. I tried to pronounced word correctly and clearly. Pausing were appropriately done so that the students can repeat the words and practiced by themselves after me instantly. On top of that to cater the need of diverse needs of learners, I inserted appropriate photos, words, voice, animations and transition to keep the students motivated and curious throughout the lesson. Besides these, lesson was introduced based on simple question which everyone could answer, “what did you eat in breakfast?” In conclusion, three questions were asked to let the students explore more on what they learnt.

 Weakness of the lesson

I could not insert the videos related to topic which may keep students engrossed in lesson that was because I am using the Camtasia application for the first time. I could not explore much on Camtasia application. Introduction and closure were not much creatively designed because I was haste towards the end since I did not get enough time since I was deputed for border patrolling as a Desuup. Provided if videos were inserted and lesson introduction and closure were creatively designed, it would have been more interesting.

Future commitments

I will insert interesting video lessons related to topics by exploring about the Camtasia through YouTube and seeking help from the friends who know better about the applications. Similarly, the lesson introduction and closure shall be designed creatively by inserting interesting graphics and videos downloaded from YouTube.
