The lesson is informed by the learner’s ability to identify various colors of the rainbow

Learning Goals

By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to:

1. Determine the color of the rainbow and other objects correctly

2. Demonstrate the ability to identify and distinguish the various colors of the rainbow and other objects

Materials/Technology/Equipment/Resources

Pictures of the rainbow, picture chart, models of various colors, crayons and varied paintings

Introduction/Anticipatory Set

· The lesson will be introduced by using the picture chart of a rainbow. Every learner is then allowed to choose the color that they love from the rainbow picture, trying to state the color chosen.

· The lesson can be related to the family of the learner. For instance, by asking the color of their cattle, cups, the color of their best dress, the color of the gate, or the vegetables they eat.

Building/Applying Knowledge and Skills

The children are allowed to look at the variety of the rainbow and choose their preferred color. The teacher will need to ask the learner to name the color that they have chosen. The teacher then states the rules on how the students should behave during the learning session. Here the learner should give the names of the rainbow together with a reminding song and abbreviations to enhance the learner's memorization. The abbreviations used in memorization of the colors should be repeated several times to ensure that the learners do not forget them.

When the learners are familiar with the colors of the rainbow, different objects such as plates, cups crayons, blocks, and crayons of different colors are assembled. The teachers instruct the learners to sort them based on the colors they have learned. The learners with disabilities on the identification of colors are given time to imagine colors they love by listening to an audiotape about the colors.

Finally, the learners are reviewed about the colors they have learned by responding to the teacher’s questions concerning the colors.

Assessment

The informal assessment is conducted in a class by asking the learners to sort out different colors and match the colors. Also, they can sort the blocks of different colors as they choose the colors they love and write the colors of the objects around them.

At the end of the lesson, a summative assessment is conducted. And the learner is instructed to sort a mixture of different colors to match the colors of the rainbow. For the children with disabilities, items with distinct features are provided to represent colors and are as well instructed to sort them and arrange.

Also, every learner should be provided with a color card, which they should name them correctly.

Closure

The conclusion of my lesson was the use of a video clip, which was set to flow in a slow-motion where I asked the learners to name the colors of the rainbow as I pointed out the colors.

Reflection

The reflection on my conducted lesson showed that it is essential to have appropriate content, teaching resources, and proper allocation of time for every learning activity.

The learner participation implied that they could learn best when they perform hand-on activities through seeing as this keep them engaged throughout the lesson.

With my proper organization of the lesson plan, I was able to stick to the time and followed my laid down procedures. However, during the lesson administration, I realized that I should have created some groups for students to identify and sort the picture, which could have made my lesson more interesting. It is also vital to create an experience that is inclusive of all the learners, including the learners with special needs to ensure that every learner enjoys the lesson.

To involve the families in the lesson requires the teacher to ask the learners about their communities' favorite colors and their importance.

Finally, it is very crucial to conclude a lesson by providing learners with different objects of different colors and instructing then to name and sort the colors.
