There is no instruction in particular and it is very difficult to understand what is being done. Irrespective of age and intellectual capacity, it is very difficult to follow what is being done. Hence, there is nothing that I like about this instruction. 5) What would you like to see different about the lesson? I would want to see the instruction being slowed down so that what is happening can be followed. Also the tutor needs to explain what is being done and make the viewer understand the strategy being applied to solve the puzzle. 6) Was the instruction/lesson successful? Justify your choice. The instruction/lesson was not successful because it does not serve the purpose of teaching how to solve a Rubik’s cube.

It is explained in a laymen’s language make it easier to understand. 5) What would you like to see different about the lesson? The lesson can be improved by using an actual ball and showing how exactly the shot is completed. That will help in driving the point home. Right now it is more theoretical and using the ball will make it a practical learning experience. 6) Was the instruction/lesson successful? Justify your choice. The lesson is partially successful as it only touches upon the basic and gives a theoretic explanation. It would have been a complete success had it been shown using an actual ball and the completion of the shot during different scenatios.

The instructions are clear and are followed by the boy showing exactly what needs to be done. It involves both theoretical and practical teaching. 5) What would you like to see different about the lesson? Yes, a little change is needed. It would be more effective if the tutor himself can give the instructions and show how it is to be followed rather than the boy showing it. 6) Was the instruction/lesson successful? Justify your choice. The instruction/lesson was successful but did not do justice to the actual purpose. The actual purpose was to teach how to play violin but the instructions are more targeted on how to use a violin rather than actually playing it. But the instruction on how to use it is very accurate. Exercise 2 Course Name Pysical Education Lesson Theme Marathon Location (if known) Track and field stadium/Park Number of Hours for the course.
