Goal 1: Use rewarding system (verbal reinforcement) effectively during circle time.

To achieve this goal, Ive review a list of positive words and what needs to be reinforce such as, students behaviours, involvement and work. In
the beginning it was difficulty to use the positive reinforcement supported with a good reaction. However, as I build relationship with the studen ts and
spend more time with them in the playground and in the classroom. That made me think that I achieved this goal successfully. Here is the evidence for
my goal which is my MCT report (the comments are highlighted).

Reflections & actuality
I believe that this goal will take me a difficult time to achieve. Ive
been working on this goal from the last semester. However, I will
work on succeeding this goal as I didnt achieve it in a way that
satisfy me. I will work on creating activities that are suitable and
effective at the same time.
It is easy to prepare the materials before the lesson. However, I
believe that giving students time to finish their work depend on the
time that I have for each activity.
This goal is based on the activities and the lesson that I have. As a
result, in some lessons I will complete the lesson activities nicely.
But, in some I will have to finish the activities in other sessions.
The MST will help me in checking how students are working and
she will provide help if needed.
Using hourglass or other ways in making me aware of time will
help in smoothing the transitions and students achievement in each
activity.
Goal 2: Improve time management in the classroom in order to finish all the lesson activities.

In order to develop this goal, it was important for me to look for well and appropriate activities and videos to avoid taking extra time from the
Arabic teacher sessions or from the learning centres time. The structure that I had in my lesson was well and organize. This is a skill that I improved
during this teaching practice as am teaching more and more. The evidence is my MST lesson evaluations, where she had positive comments on my lesson
planning and time. Another evidence is picture of students creating /t/ sound.

The students were creating sound /t/, the activity was

approprate and the students finished in a good timing.

Goal 3: Use more of clear instructions and simple vocabulary.

In this goal, I wanted to develop the way in giving the students instructions to avoid repeating them over and over. Also, I had to take into
consideration students English, as they are only started learning the language this year. As a result, Ive used simply voca bulary to give them
instructions and to explain the lesson. Besides, even if the students didnt understand me I would say the instructions again with an action of what
they need to do. The evidence for achieving this goal, is my MST lesson evaluation.
