READING INTERVIEW OBSERVATION

I have a lesson observation next week in a Year 4 class- it has to be based on reading or vocabulary. I have many ideas but I'm not sure if any of them are any good. Does anyone have any advice about how to make the lesson engaging?

 

Well there are many ways to make lessons engaging, but it does very much depend on the class and your own personality on which of the many ways will work for you.

 

Tell a tiny story, read something like Voices in the Park (but for Y4) and make them do a role play, infer and retrieve in questions, maybe they can write a review etc

 

I have done inference based on a picture then relate it to a short extract. It has worked every time and been engaging.

 

This is quite a lot for an interview lesson. Keep it simple with 1 objective.
