8. Teacher Reflection-
Presentation worked well - some good ideas and pupils enjoyed standing up and giving their own thoughts on the topic. Questions asked to individual pupils helped to monitor the level at which some pupils were at. A varied lesson which I was pleased with. I would like to try and get the pupils to ask other pupils questions next time after their presentation. I would also like to teach the pupils to try and look up whilst they are presenting. Confidence needs to be improved but this needs more practice. Ground rules need to be set on copying and pasting and just reading out rather than putting it into your own words. This must be monitored closely.
