Classroom Observation for SY 2022-2023

 Face-to-face classes are back in the Philippines and so classroom observations are back, too! Have you got your schedule for pre-conference and class demonstration? I just had it all recently and I would like to share my experience with you.

Quick background: I am a Grade 6 Teacher, Class Adviser of the first section, and handling English classes promoting the School Paper of Igpit Elementary School. Thus, I chose the English subject for the Classroom Observation because I am more comfortable with it. Since we are still in the first quarter, I chose the topic "Real vs Make-Believe". I already had a video lesson on this last year and I posted it on our YouTube Channel.

However, since my class demonstration would be conducted in a face-to-face manner, I had to revise some parts of the lesson plan. I added some games to make the presentation lively. I had a "Mystery Box" containing images for learners to guess whether they were real or make-believe. We played "Fall in Line" for sentences that needed to be identified as real or make-believe. And I presented more updated movie trailers for them to identify fantasy from reality, fiction from non-fiction, as these adopted the same concepts as real and make-believe.

Fortunately, I was able to present the lesson well. I got very good remarks from our School Principal.
