notes
-The lesson did go to plan. Timing of activities was good. Difficulty of activities was of a
good level. Challenging vocab
-Trouble with graded language. Question from a cup activity could have been better.
Questions were not creative enough/did not illicit target material as well as I wanted.
Maybe start with a paradigm next time.
-Paradigm did not last as long/go as smoothly as I wanted. Need to make it more
organized (check megan’s notes)
-Worksheet did not last as long as planned. Next time, if answer is yes, cross it out and
make him do negative. Vice versa for negative answers.
-CHECK MY GRADED LANGUAGE/RUNNING COMMENTARY. Just practice what
I’m saying more and K.I.S.S. it
