PEER FEEDBACK ON HÜSEYİN AKSU’S FIRST OFFICIAL
I was Hüseyin’s peer in his first official lesson. The students were sixth graders and there were only seven students in the class, so it was a very silent lesson. It was a literature class, and the students had read one of the stories of Leo Tolstoy, and Hüseyin’s lesson was based on this story. Overall the objectives of the lesson were met, but there were some weaknesses in the lesson.
Hüseyin integrated the technology into his lesson as much as possible, which engaged the students. The competition was a good idea with such a small-numbered class because in the competitions generally there might be a chaos, but with few students it functions better.
The last activity in the lesson was writing an epitaph, and it motivated the students very much. They loved the epitaph activity; I think I will use it in the future too. However, at the end of this activity, students were supposed to choose the best epitaph, and they did not remember the epitaphs their friends wrote. So there could have been some changes in the process of this activity.
As for another weakness of Hüseyin’s lesson, as there were only seven students in the class, they were very silent. I think in the classes where there are few students the teacher should make the class more active because silent students may end up with sleeping in the middle of the lesson. Therefore, the only suggestion I would make for Hüseyin is that he should use more action in the lessons. Moreover, he should show his enthusiasm to the students.
Hüseyin managed the class very well; he was like a teacher, not a teacher trainee. I think the activities Hüseyin used were very effective because all the students participated. Overall, it was a successful lesson.
