Reflection on a Lesson Plan Taught
Virginia Teachers for Tomorrow
Intern Name: Joseph Nguyen
Topic/Subject of Lesson: Soccer/ Dribbling & Passing
Grade: 6th
Date of Lesson Taught: May 17, 2017
Cooperating Teacher: Mr. C
Cooperating School: Kempsville Middle School
Time of Day:
1. What steps did you go through to create this lesson? With whom did you talk, discuss, or edit your
lesson?
My first step was asking Mr. C what he was planning to teach on my full day. Once he told me about soccer, I
quickly took in consideration what the classes experience with soccer. I learned that they have very little
experience so I had to make a simple lesson about soccer skills so they could learn some of the basics before
they went into a tournament.
2. How did the SOLs and Objectives help focus your instruction?
The SOLs helped me somewhat figure out a general idea of what I should instruct, however my objectives
really help specify what I needed to focus on.
3. What parts of the instructional plan worked as you anticipated?
The warm-up and most of the actual instructional lesson.
4. What, if any, adjustments needed to be made once you began?
I needed to plan the groups better. I know that some kids were absent, but I should of put the kids in even
squads before the activity started so everything leading up in the lesson would be smooth.
5. How well did you anticipate the materials needed?
It was very easy, I counted the amount of balls and cones needed and bought 4 extra cones and 2 extra balls
if needed.
6. How effective was the assessment you chose to use? (If no assessment was used, what will the future
assessment be and how will you gauge its effectiveness?)
My assessment was very basic, the kids would get graded on their effort and performance.
7. To what degree do you feel that this lesson was a success? What evidence do you have for the
success of the lesson? (Hint: Student learning is the key to a lessons success!)
I felt some of the kids actually wanted to learn the skills because I would hear one kid push their teammate to
work harder or hear two kids on different teams talk about how one was doing better which made both of
them work harder to be successful.
8. How did the time spent preparing for your lesson contribute to its success?
I spent quite of bit of time to prepare this lesson. I actually had to draft what I wanted to do, made sure the
activities made sense in the certain order, and just dig deep to find good activities to do.
9. I spent time researching more into the 1920s which did help me relay the lesson well. I think that my
excitement helped the class pay attention more.
I dont know what this question was asking.
10. If you could do this lesson again with the same students, would you do anything differently? If so,
what?
I would assign make the squads even before I started the actual lesson. I would also make the groups specific
so I wouldnt have any complications.
11. Any last comments/reflections about your lesson?
