Description: The Lecture-Discussion model is a type of model in which a teacher lectures to their class about a particular topic and then the students will discuss among them selves and the class what their feelings are about the lectured topic.
Reflection on in-class presentation: This model was presented to my class in both a high school and an elementary setting. The high school lesson was in a 10th grade English class and involved a brief review of previous class works; and the class listening and following along to an audio book reading a chapter in Of Mice and Men. This activity was followed by a discussion lead by the teachers about what happened in the chapter, followed by questions about why certain scenarios played out in the chapter. After the students voiced their opinions and facts about what they had read, the teachers started a new activity that involved the students to move around the classroom in-order to answer a critical thinking question the teachers presented. This lesson plan was well organized and used the Lecture-Discussion model well because the students were able to interact with the teachers and their peers to voice and defend their answers to the questions presented.
The elementary demonstration was done in a social studies/Language Arts class and was centered around Benjamin Franklin. The teachers began the lesson by asking the students who they believed Ben Franklin was and then either corrected or praised the student for their answer. Next, the teachers provided a worksheet to the students and asked the students to fill it out by the order of the sections. After the worksheets were completed, the teachers lead a discussion about what the students filled out on the worksheets. This lesson plan was well organized and useful because of the discussion the teachers allowed the students to have about themselves that related to the topic of the day.
