Video on parts of speech

 

Lesson on parts of speech 

As per the studies conducted by scholars, and my own experience of having worked in school, I can endorse that the schools with sufficient ICT resources achieve better results than those that are ill-equipped, as ICT brings significant improvement on learners’ performances. 

According to a document entitled teaching and learning with ICT, G. Galea (2002), states that with the change in students learning behavior, ICT can change the lesson pace where learners will develop sufficient potentials and skills. ICT allow for a higher quality lessons through collaboration with teachers in planning and preparing resources. ICT technologies encourage independent and active learning, and students’ responsibility for their own learning which truly constructs the teaching- learning process.

Having mentioned above statements, on 13^th of the September, I taught English lesson in class IV through ICT tools. The topic was on parts of speech. I covered only three parts of speech on that day. The topics are Noun, pronoun, Adjectives. I will be covering the rest topic on consecutive days. To teach this topic I used varieties of ICT tools.

In introduction parts I taught through power point presentation. To make power point       presentation I used different slides, different animation to arouse curiosity and interest, and I downloaded pictures from the face book and inserted in my presentation. All the children were learning and having fun. They cheered when I use the slides and presented with the animations. Some children were asking me how to make such animations. I have even inserted images as an example for the topics for the Google. https://www.google.com/search?q=noun+examples+with+pictures&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwio2rWR__3yAhXHcX0KHUCqDc0Q2-cCegQIABAA&oq=Noun+ex&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQARgHMgQIABBDMgQIABBDMgQIABBDMgUIABCABDIFCAAQgAQyBQgAEIAEMgUIABCABDIECAAQQzIFCAAQgAQyBQgAEIAEUKnlBFjl7gRg35QFaABwAHgAgAG0A4gBywWSAQcwLjIuNC0xmAEAoAEBqgELZ3dzLXdpei1pbWfAAQE&sclient=img&ei=IFZAYajKDsfj9QPA1LboDA&rlz=1C1RLNS_enBT774BT774

Then I showed the YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqLeGm4k6CU video on parts of speech. They learnt more on the part of speech.  We had a good interactions like questioning, reading, telling examples when we learn. In video all the parts of speech were shown but I focuses on three parts of speech and I introduced the topic that the other topics, they will be learning next days.

After the class I demonstrate the parts of speech that have been printed before going to the class. I told them that I will post in the class telegram group and they have to copy, write and bring in the next class for evaluation.

I had few challenges while teaching the topic “Parts of speech.”  Firstly the internet connection was very slow. I have to restart several times. Secondly the weather was too hot on that day and finally I have to ask one student to operate the laptop when I teach, we had little coordination problem in starting and pausing the video and in power point presentation when I teach them. At the end all went well and we had a great interactive learning.
