Step 9 Reflection

This is a reading lesson, I mainly want to train students’ reading ability by designing pre-reading, while-reading and post-reading activities, first, I play a short video and present some pictures to lead in the topic, students show a big interests in this lesson and they can study in a relaxing atmosphere. However, most students are poor in English and they can’t read a complete passage, so improve their reading ability is necessary, I will encourage them to open their mouth to speak English as much as possible.
