Guest Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Hi all, I'm new to the forum but I've been using the website for a few weeks for lesson ideas (its been a great help). I'm here to ask for some help? I'm currently coming to the end of my Early Years PGCE for which I have completed my KS1 placement in Y1, and I'm now just a few weeks into my FS placement in FS2. I've got an interview at my dream school next week. I've got to plan and teach a 20min literacy lesson to 18 FS2s - numeracy being my strong point. The only guidence I have is that they are all working on phase 3 of Letters and Sounds. The school is high achieving and so I am keen that my lesson has some challenge / the children do learn from it. I favour interactive and multisensory approaches, and the school encourages the use of ICT. I have no idea how much I can show in this short time, and do not want to try to squeeze to much in at the expense of the children's learning. My current mentor is lovely but I don't like the way in which she teaches (just a bit dated?) so I can't turn to her for advice. Is it best to plan a 'stand alone lesson' or plan for a unit and teach 'the first lesson of the unit' (but would children learn much then)? I want to be noticed but I don't want to take any huge risks. I was thinking of sharing a familiar text with the children and doing a small whole group activity steming from this? - maybe We're Going on a Bear Hunt? (this could be too predictable?). Sorry for the long post! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
