https://padlet.com/cmalick13/settingobjectives_providingfeedback Now that I’m an expert in 9 instructional strategies, I would suggest that “Sir” try setting objectives and providing feedback to improve his instruction and classroom management. en-us 2017-08-31 20:43:21 UTC 2025-09-26 03:54:08 UTC hello@padlet.com cmalick13 https://padlet.com/cmalick13/settingobjectives_providingfeedback/wish/184296413 Sir could improve his lesson by setting objectives at the beginning of the lesson, so students will understand how what they are doing in the classroom relates to what they are supposed to learn. When Sir told students they would be learning about weather, he didn't specify what aspects of weather they would be learning about, nor did he explain the importance of the unit. Sir could improve his lesson by setting clear learning objectives that are specific  but not restrictive. If I were Sir, I would have introduced the concept of weather and allowed for Think-Pair-Share and discussion on what weather is in general, then I would tell students what part of the weather unit we will be learning about for the day. For example, "Now that we know what weather is, we are going to focus on different types of weather. Today we will be discussing what a thunderstorm is. We are going to watch this quick video to tell us more about the different components of a thunderstorm.]]> 2017-09-01 18:55:33 UTC https://padlet.com/cmalick13/settingobjectives_providingfeedback/wish/184296413 cmalick13 https://padlet.com/cmalick13/settingobjectives_providingfeedback/wish/184300341 To improve his lesson and help the students understand what they are supposed to get out of the activity, Sir make a permanent place in the classroom for him to write down the learning objectives for each day and what activities they will be doing that will support each objective. ]]> 2017-09-01 19:12:10 UTC https://padlet.com/cmalick13/settingobjectives_providingfeedback/wish/184300341 cmalick13 https://padlet.com/cmalick13/settingobjectives_providingfeedback/wish/184302782 To make the information seem more relevant and not as isolated content, Sir could have explained to students that today they will be using this website to learn about thunderstorms and rain, which they will later revisit when they are learning about the water cycle when they discuss precipitation. ]]> 2017-09-01 19:21:48 UTC https://padlet.com/cmalick13/settingobjectives_providingfeedback/wish/184302782 cmalick13 https://padlet.com/cmalick13/settingobjectives_providingfeedback/wish/184306162 Sir had students brainstorm then have a discussion on how weather affects us. Sir could improve his lesson by providing better feedback to help facilitate meaningful discourse. As the class is having a discussion and taking turns sharing aloud, Sir should be more opening to student responses instead of just saying, "Okay." For example, when one of the students mentioned how the weather affects the hygiene industry, instead of welcoming creative responses, Sir just sort of brushed it off. If a student gave me that answer, I would say, "Wow! That is a really interesting example of how weather indirectly affects us. Can anyone else think of anymore ways the weather may directly affect us?" After class discussions, Sir could give this feedback form to tell students how they are doing in class discussions, so they can improve if need be. Sir could also give students a reflection form to involve them more in the feedback process. ]]> 2017-09-01 19:32:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cmalick13/settingobjectives_providingfeedback/wish/184306162 cmalick13 https://padlet.com/cmalick13/settingobjectives_providingfeedback/wish/184310379 Sir could have had students complete a KWL chart at the beginning of the lesson to have students help determine what they want to get out of the unit. This will also help Sir refine his lessons since students said they already learned about this the previous year. ]]> 2017-09-01 19:59:54 UTC https://padlet.com/cmalick13/settingobjectives_providingfeedback/wish/184310379
