Your reflections
 Students learned 5 new words (gloves, mittens, coat, sweater and jacket)
 Some words were easy for several students
 85%
 Ask questions to check for understanding
 Use the “thumb method” during the CFU
 Use of games during the lesson
 Use of pictures for clothing
 Recap of the activity instructions by asking questions
 Classroom management problems (Students were doing other things instead of
listening)
 An activity lasted longer than expected, so we did not have enough time for all the
activities we planned
 Transition problems
 Merge two activities together since one was longer than expected (The second
activity was useful to show students “real” pieces of clothing)
 Add more challenging words
 It could be a great idea to show the actual piece of clothing
 Better transitions
 Use celebrity pictures as examples to show students “real” clothing images
