Reflecting on cycle 1, ph 1 - writing lesson

Day 19-21, 28-30 April

I intend to spend the next three days reflecting on my lessons in cycle 1 and analyzing students’ writing samples so that I can then plan the next writing skills cycle that begins after 4 days from now. I find this a lengthy and tiring task, but I need to keep myself motivated for this one! Though initially I didn’t have a concrete plan as to how I will analyze the writing samples, but as I started the process, I found myself developing an endless list of what I need to focus on in my next cycle. Undoubtedly, the AR cycle is just not meaningful without the reflection stage. In fact, I have now begun to question myself in my other classrooms where I’m only carrying out my teaching activities. I never get the chance to reflect so deeply on how a lesson needs to be planned and whether there’s any scope of improving the quality of teaching and learning. I guess I found my motivation for going through the writing samples :)
