Presenting the lesson through simulation using PowerPoint presentation

Presenting the lesson through simulation using PowerPoint presentation

Topic: Season

Class: III

Subject: English

The topic that I chose for the power point presentation is Season for class III students and the subject is English. I first chose the topic so that the presentation of the lesson will go simultaneously. With the topic being chosen, I then downloaded images, GIFS, voice from WAV format, background voice and clipart that were all related to the topic “Season”. With this resources ready, I then started my PowerPoint presentation. Since the motive was to create a simulation, I created the whole lesson on one slide show. I put every images, GIFs, sounds and clipart “with previous” for a simultaneous display. I started my first slide show with blank colored slide to use as background. In the first slide I wrote the topic, class and subject. The other slides are followed with the description for each season. To put the animation and transition, I used animation panel to adjust the timing. I made use of the animation panel. First topic was kept on click just to make the student guess the topic and after that the presentation continues to slide containing some activity in between the slides where they can solve the activity by pausing for some time. I concluded the lesson with two activities for the students. I used varieties of animation and transitions for each texts to create interesting and attractive PowerPoint presentation, GIFs and clipart to arouse curiosity and enthusiasm from students while teaching.

How do I use this presentation in the classroom?

This presentation can be used in the class when we are introducing the children about the topic ‘Season’ they can use this as an extra reference as this includes graphics, sounds, and letters to simple understand the lesson. This way it will help to cater varieties of student’s needs. Students having difficulty in learning with text can always comprehend from the graphics and voice. Students having difficulty with eyesight can take advantage of the voice being used and vice versa. Therefore, this presentation will help students to comprehend the lesson better which can help to achieve higher grades. Firstly, to make them some prediction, I kept the topic on click where I wanted to ask them what are we going to learn and only after that I will click and show the topic to them. I will make them to watch the pictures and description about the topic “season” and let them solve the two activity provided in the slide by pausing for some time as conclusion of the lesson.

I wanted to use these PowerPoint simulation to introduce the topic “season” as these presentation contains all the details about the topic including basic concepts. These presentation can be used in all the stages of lesson delivery like it can be used in introduction, lesson development and conclusion as well. In introduction, I can use these presentation by showing the presentation without showing the topic and let them guess the topic. After that explanation about the topic can be shown by presenting the simulation and in conclusion I will give them the activity individually as well as in group.  These presentation can be also used when student are studying in online classes where they need not have to wait for face to face teaching, rather they can simply use these presentation to explore more about the topic.
