Post lesson notes Positive: the students were very interested in the subject and were very cooperative to do all the exercises. They understood all the activity instructions and delivered as well as they could. As suggested, less vocabulary and grammar was presented to the class and this helped for a better managing of the lesson as well as for the time. Negative: the phrasal verbs were a little difficult to get in the beginning because they had use them before but not in a specific topic, as it happed for the class, so they took a little to place their ideas and usage of the vocabulary and grammar(phrasal verbs). One of the grammar activities was not printed correctly and this took a few minutes from the class, and although the students were able to practice the pronunciation while waiting in the end there was no time for the wrap up, but still the rest of the class was understood and well received by the students. Aspects to review and consider for the teacher: Be stricter about the time when an activity is performed so the class can be completed as is was planned.
