LESSON DESCRIPTION: (Write a concise description of what occurs in this lesson.)
The students are brought to a computer lab to participate in an online forum to discuss about Singapore’s challenges
regarding population growth. They will then embark on a read up on case studies of Scandinavian countries which
have successfully increased their birth rates. Then they will do a reflection on the questions assigned to them:
1. “Looking at the trend from 1970s-2008, what problems do u foresee in Singapore's population demographics
in 10 years' time if nothing changes?”
2. "How can Singaporeans be encouraged to marry earlier and have babies?"
They will post their reflections on a class blog to allow fellow students to read them.
CLASSROOM LAYOUT AND GROUPING OF STUDENTS:

grouped (class group, individuals, pairs, small groups, etc…)
It will be in the computer lab. Students will be doing the assignments in pairs.

ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION:
How will you measure the student’s success? Formally or informally? Formal evaluation of student work requires that
a grade is taken while informal might be monitoring of work, or class discussion. This section should contain a
description of the assessment process, the criteria for achievement, and performance levels. The criteria should
directly align to objectives and instruction. Describe your plan for providing feedback to your students.
I will measure it by two ways:
1. Lesson discussion: There will be Q & A sessions and discussions going on during the lesson itself, thus
student’s participation will be a bonus to his or her success
2. Quality of reflection posed on the blog, whether the reflection showcases the level of in depth thinking of
the student
