Reflection
On 14 of October 2018, I taught a student who is 4 to 5 years old and they are in KG1-A. The
lesson that I taught them was about letter \k\ in the classroom because I used technology during
the lesson. I start the lesson by showing the students a video in smart board and data show.
During the activities time, I observe how the students doing and are they understand the concept
of the lesson during the activity time. I provide for the students four activities two complex
worksheets first one was about students recognize the letter\k\ finding the letter between the
other letters, the second worksheet puzzle how the king finds his key. The third activity was
designing your house key. The fourth activity was simple flashcards with clips. At the end of the
lesson, the students achieved my goal by asking the students to give me a full sentence about
words starts with letter \k\.

The aspect that I did very well in this lesson is the opening. I started the lesson by showing the
students video about days of the week and the letter \k\ song. it was the first lesson that I taught
them and the students were responding to me. At the begging, I was little nerves of how I will
greet the children and how I will introduce the sound. But the students have engaged with days
of the week song and letter \k\ song. Then the students were excited at the flashcard’s words
activity, which each group has two cards have a picture and word starting with sound \k\. the
students have to discuss with their friends and give me a full sentence about the words. At the
end I explain to the children what we will do as activities, they exited and stopped talking while
listening to the bell is the ring.

During the activity time, I saw how the students are responded. However before starting the
activity time the students were out of control until they listen to my counting 1,2 and 3. Then I
gave them instruction about the activates and I explained for them what they should do. I saw
how the students were responded and actively while some students asked me for help. It was the
first time that I taught the students that were keeping the students engaged. I encourage the
students by rewarded them give them a sticker.

In the future, I would try to have more complex activities and give the students a chance to read
the sentence by words not just pronounce the sentence may point to the words. And I will try to
prepare several strategies to keep the students under the control.
