Reflection and Self-Evaluation (4n, 5m)

How do you feel about your lesson?

Looking at my lesson aims, I feel that the lesson was successful. My students were able to practice their writing in the
context of ‘special events’, and they each succeeded in writing a letter to a friend. They were able to both identify and
then put into order sections of a letter, and they demonstrated this in their output (letter) which they shared with their
class.

However, I felt challenged by how much I should elicit in terms of feedback on grammar and punctuation of their
deliverables. I dealt with this challenge by focusing on the sharing of their writing (the focus of the lesson) rather than
shifting into discussions of grammar (not the focus). I would have liked to come up with a brief way to elicit feedback for
the last minute of the lesson as well.

What aspects of the lesson are you happy with? Why?

I am happy with:
-Accomplishing the aims of the lesson
-Managing time well for the main component of the lesson
-Using the pre-writing time to successfully and clearly introduce the class to new material

What aspects of the lesson are you unhappy with? Why?

I am unhappy with:
-Not predicting and therefore not coming up with ICQs that were relevant to the technical challenges that the class
faced (i.e. will you share in the Zoom chat, or the wechat group?)
-Not finishing the class with a comfortable round-up of their letters (as I thought that I had more time left than we did, by
4 minutes)

Is there anything specific you would like to discuss in feedback?

-How much follow up (if any) we should give to students at the end of a lesson, in terms of takeaways.

Based on this self-evaluation, in my next lesson I will focus on (4n):

(Narrow this down to 1 to 3 specific points that you can focus on as personal aims in your next lesson.)
 1. Starting from the end; designing an activity to round up my lesson that will allow me to provide more feedback
2. More specific ICQs that are built around anticipated problems, rather than lesson content
