Siop Lesson Reflection

The document discusses a lesson on mental health that was taught to students. It reflects on whether the language and content objectives were achieved, if students were immersed in the vocabulary, and if there was enough student interaction. It identifies building background, comprehensible input, and lesson preparation as important aspects of the SIOP process. It concludes that the PowerPoint could have been made more interactive to engage students.

1. Did you achieve both your language and content objectives? How can you be
sure?

 Yes, I do believe we achieved both objectives in our lesson. As for the content
objectives, every activity we had the class complete revolved around the content
of the lesson. The students were constantly formatively assessed, and we made
sure to find multiple ways to teach the information to the students such as
through the different activities, videos, and the PowerPoint presentation. The
students also achieved the language objective when completing the pre-
assessment activity. The students begin by classifying different facts under each
mental illness. However, later on in the lesson, the students must each write two
more facts for each mental illness. This was how Anna, my co-teacher, and I
accomplished the language objective.

2. Do you feel you "immersed" the students in the vocabulary? Based on your
assessment, did the students have their own understanding of each of the
vocab words?

 I feel that we did immerse the students in the vocabulary. This is because they
were not only told what the vocabulary was and the definitions of the words, but
they were also required to actively use the vocabulary throughout each activity
we had them complete. Based on all the activities the students completed, I do
believe they had a good understanding of each and every vocabulary word from
the lesson.

3. Do you feel you had enough interaction, giving students the chance to apply the
language/content with other students? Why or why not?

 I feel like we had some interaction but could have had a little more. Especially
with the language objective. We only had the students write down facts once and
I’m sure we could have thought of something else to have the students do that
would have addressed this objective. The PowerPoint also became boring after a
while so maybe we could have made it more interactive, so the students were
not as bored.
4. What are three aspects of the SIOP process that you find effective and truly
need to be in your lesson plans (especially if ELLs are present)?

 Three aspects of the SIOP process that I found effective and truly needs to be
included in lesson plans are building backgrounds, comprehensible input, and
lesson preparation. Building background is important with any lesson because it
allows the children to make connections from their lived to the information they
will be learning. It also helps to set a purpose for what they students will be
learning. Comprehensible input is important when planning a lesson because the
students need to understand what you are saying to them and teaching to them.
By using clear and appropriate speech, the teacher can provide clear explanations
on all the academic tasks. Finally, lesson preparation is also very important when
creating a lesson. If a teacher is not fully prepared in the topics they are teaching
and with their materials, their lesson will likely be ineffective. By preparing
everything for the lesson, the teacher can ensure the lesson is engaging and
informative.

5. Looking back now that you've completed the lesson, what is one thing you
would have done differently? Why?

 One thing I would have changed is the way in which we did the PowerPoint.
Although it was short, sweet, and informative, it was boring. Maybe we could
have done simple things such as adding transitions to make it more interesting
for the students. We also could have found a way for more interaction between
us and the students during this time. I think that would have made it more
enjoyable for everyone.
