Step 4—Reflection
What happened during my lesson? What did my students learn? How do I know?
What did I learn? How will I improve my lesson next time?
Students like to learn how to express their emotions by acting and playing games. And I still
need to focus more on sentences than the phrases. Students also need to work harder on
reading the story.
