10 10 The content is clearly understood and
reflected to students in meaningful ways

focus students on the new topic, as it
makes use of definitions to introduce the
new vocabulary. However, the

knowledge is not so profound.

my opinion does not have a high use of
authentic materials in the class, although

well, since the students understand and
help them as reinforcement.

What would you change in the lesson? Why?

The only thing that would change the class is the dynamics in which it always causes each of the questions to
be discussed, it would be a little more effective in the subject of time the fact that they answer all the questions
and discuss them at a certain time.
