Reflection
On 28th October I taught lesson integrating
ICT in class 3. It was English and the topic was singular and plural noun. The
children were aware of the singular and plural noun. But they know only one
rule that is; make noun plural by adding -s. In today’s lesson they were taught
the 8 rules how noun is changed into plural forms. Children were explored
through video tutorial to make them understand the concept. Then I explained
them in more detail and with more examples.
The content they learned are we can add -es to the
noun that end in ch, sh, o, s, ss, x,
and z. The examples are Ostriches, Dishes, Mangoes, Buses, Princesses, foxes
and quizzes.
Some noun ending in -o takes only s. The examples is
piano-pianos.
Noun that ends in a consonant -y. Change -y to -i and
add -es. The examples are city-cities and country-countries.
Noun that ends in a vowel followed by -y change into
plural by adding -s. Example key-keys.
Noun that ends in -f or fe, replace with -ves. The
example is leaf-leaves.
Few nouns do not follow the rules. Example chef-chefs.
Some noun has
the same form in singular and plural which is known as irregular noun. The
example are sheep-sheep, hair-hair and deer-deer.
A few singular nouns form their plural by changing the
inside vowel or vowels. The example are man-men and tooth-teeth.
In the first activity I let them watched the video and
then I asked them to take note of what they have understood. Then I asked few
children to explain what he/she have learned. Then we moved with the video by
explaining with more examples. As follow up activity I asked few questions and
discussed more on their responses.
Then I have displayed the worksheet on the screen and
let children write the answers in pair. Few pairs presented their writing and
we discussed thoroughly.
After that I displayed another worksheet and let them
do it individually. I went around and checked individual work. I found 60 to 70
children could do very well. I understood that these children learn better from
videos then from me. I was happy and satisfied with my lesson because if we
explain our self, we would never do all these rules together. But from the
video it was done. I could repeat the video for many to make them understand
more. In our classroom teaching we may repeat for 3 to 4 times only. I was not
tired as ICT has done more work and I am free of chalk dust as I used the
screen to display the work sheets. It doesn’t take time to show screen like
writing on board.
Therefore, I am realizing more and more advantages
with the integration of ICT in better teaching and learning.
