INTRODUCTION
Each time we teach a lesson, it is essentially a new ball game. The content changes over time, our students change and we change. The complex dynamics involved in the process of teaching and learning take on new layers of meaning when we stop to consider the ways in which we are similar as well as different from one another. Teachers need to be able to understand the dynamics of the classroom environment with learners from diverse cultural backgrounds.
(3) In this particular lesson, I started off with a quiz as a recap session. This quiz was a little competition between students in the classroom. The purpose of this quiz was to get the students excited about recalling facts learnt previously. Clues were given when students got stuck, refreshing their memories. Questions ranged from which town Jack the Ripper was from to what the class thought his motives for murder were. The children responded well and were able to recall much information from the previous lesson. This I found allowed smooth integration into the next lesson. Obviously a quiz can not be done every lesson but it is a good idea to do recall sessions at the beginning of lessons to refresh student’s memories.
(4) The following are the questions asked during the lesson: o WHICH TOWN DID JACK THE RIPPER CONDUCT HIS MURDERS?
This question deals with comprehension as they would have to recall from the book, or look it up in there notes. The aim of this question was put simply to ease students into the process. o HOW MANY VICTIMS WERE INVOLVED?
This question deals with comprehension again, as it is just testing the level of knowledge that was obtained in the
