Notes Help
Notes you take during the lesson will come in handy:
• to record new vocabulary that might come up. If you stop to teach a new word, make a note to review it in your next lesson.
• when your student expressed a particular concern or interest. You can take a minute to offer a short-term solution and then build on the topic in a future lesson.
• if you don’t have time to cover everything you planned. Note which topics you omitted, and cover them next time.
Give yourself time to review the complete lesson.
Whenever possible, try to give yourself about 10 minutes immediately after a lesson to review what just happened. This is not always easy to do, but it can be a big help in preparing future lessons.
Take time to make some brief notes about what worked well in the lesson and what didn’t work well and why and what you want to do in the next lesson. Consider the new interests or concerns a student might have brought up. Jot down any preliminary ideas about activities to address these during the next lesson.
