Students' Activity: Listen to the teacher's summary, take notes if necessary, and write down the homework assignment. Design Intention: Reinforce students' understanding of the content learned in class and consolidate knowledge through homework. 教学反思 After teaching this unit, several aspects need to be reflected on. In terms of teaching methods, the use of videos and games in the lead - in and vocabulary learning stages was effective in attracting students' attention and making the learning process more engaging. However, in the group discussion part, some students were a bit shy to express their ideas, and the group dynamics could have been better managed. Maybe more guidance on how to start the discussion and how to encourage every member to participate could be provided next time. Regarding students' learning, most students seemed to have grasped the basic vocabulary and sentence patterns related to hobbies and clubs. But when it came to applying them in real - life - like situations, such as the group discussion, some students still made mistakes in grammar and vocabulary usage. This indicates that more practice in context is needed. Also, in the reading comprehension section, some students had difficulty understanding long and complex sentences. More reading strategies should be taught in future classes to help them improve their reading skills. Overall, adjustments should be made in future teaching to better meet students' needs and improve the teaching effect. 2 / 37 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
