This rationale should consider the following:
Explanation of planning and rationale for your approach to student learning
What you are hoping to achieve
Areas causing you most concern and why
Aspects on which you would appreciate feedback(if an observed session)
Reference to any action points/targets identified
Links to reading that has informed your thinking and approach
The focus for this reflection/observation is:
To enable learners to identify and build on effective communication skills
Targets from previous observation or most relevant:
To include strategies to include less confident learners to participate in classroom discussion
Rationale
In the previous lesson students were introduced to the new unit Communication Skills for work. I asked students to consider the various different ways they had used communication over the past winter break. I gave some homework to the class to prepare for this session. I did this with some trepidation, as in general students on foundation learning are not given homework. However, the homework is to simply watch ten minutes of a favourite TV programme and then feedback to the class what different methods of communication they noticed in that segment. So in this event the students should be able to participate.
I have planned several different activities in the class.
