Learning assessment I will ask the students to read a worksheet with an introduction
to mythology today’s topic after having written the new
vocabulary words/names on the board. I will distribute some
worksheet with ‘fill in’ questions and ask them to describe to
the class briefly a mythological legend they have heard or read
or like particularly. Then I will ask them to create their own
‘mythological’ creatures using the topic’s new words of today’s
lesson,
Post lesson notes
 I was able to follow my lesson plan in a more accurately
today though it was difficult to get the students’ attention
during some of the phases.
 The activities were probably not long enough for some
students and it wasn’t easy to bring back their
concentration
 I didn’t need to modify my structure at any moment. The
topic was to the right for the students’ level. They show
a real interest in topic. They already had a good
knowledge of Greek mythology and its creatures.
 I tried to match better the vocabulary than my previous
lesson. The worksheets were well presented but still
insufficiently to achieve their purpose, although students
found them interesting. They understood well the words
connected with the topic. I had to call the class’s
attention twice as the students were carried away by the
topic, the mythological creatures.
 The feedbacks were both positive and negative from the
class.
 I kept my talking to a minimum to answer their personal
questions. My instructions were clear but I will have to
improve them and to make myself more precise about
what is to be done.
 The students could express themselves in proper
English, and exchanged some interesting ideas
connected to Greek Mythology.
 Some students were a bit shy but I found a way to
engage them to talk.
 I found out that I have to keep the students motivated at
all times.
 I have to work harder to achieve this purpose by
rechecking my lesson plans more accurately.
 To review each detail and see if they are matching
properly the day’s topic together with my worksheets.
 I have to keep in mind one of the important things. This
is to maintain the students’ motivation at all times.
 To make the lesson an interesting time for them. To find
a topic the students can relate to it,
 This will make the grammar’s presentation easier.
 Again I promise myself to follow the structure in my
lesson plan closely, but my inexperience makes it very
difficult during the actual class.

I realize that this is my main problem. I find difficult to
stick to my plan and to apply it during the practice
lessons.
When I will become a teacher I have to be capable to do
this in a better way.
