Using the powerpoint, I will begin with
the very basics, what veneer is. To Students watch powerpoint and
accompany this I created animations to listen to the explanations
help the student visualize the process.

Linking sustainability into it, I will ask Students discuss the positives and
the students how they think veneers negatives of veneers and describe

a positive or negative impact.

Lesson 10-22 I will then introduce the two ways of


Sequence cutting veneer.

(New Learning) After this I will begin into matching


veneer which is laying out the veneer
into an aesthetically pleasing manner.
This can then lead into marquetry
which is art using veneer.

I will turn on my camera and show Students take in the physical model

7. LESSON REVIEW

STRENGTHS: What went well in this lesson, and why?

The students participated well when asked a question. I didn’t ask the class as a whole but rather
said individual names so they had no choice but to respond.

I am happy with how the powerpoint turned out. The animations give clear sight into what the text
is saying.

WEAKNESSES: What did not work so well and why?

Abrupt ending. It was basically powerpoint over, class over. I shouldve had a buffer time of
questions or dialogue. Although dialogue mightnt work too well online.

Also for test time I had planned that I would choose the answer that the majority chose by looking
at the number of hands up to tell me. But I couldn’t see hands up when sharing.

Forgot to take roll

SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT: 3-4

Take roll

Buffer time of questions at the end of powerpoint

Share window instead of screen would allow me to see the hands up function without disrupting
the powerpoint too much.

I had heard that a black background and white text was good for dyslexic people in the class, but I
feel that it might have been too dark and not giving off the right feel for a classroom setting. Next
time I might choose a brighter background that is still suitable for dyslexic people, like pastel
purple.

In the beginning of class it was very quiet and a bit awkward as I was waiting for the class to enter
(they entered slowly and there was 7 minutes between the first student and the last before I
began) I think a fun way to rid the silence and make it more fun than awkward would be to have an
“interesting segment” there that may not have anything to do with the lesson but might be of
interest to the students. (i.e The Tuatha De Dannen sat at an Grianan Aileach, not too far away
from buncrana, talk about that while the class enter)

MEMOS: Brief planning notes for future planning

Students didn’t respond when I asked the general class a question but did when asked by name.

Remember to take roll
