Most students were actively involved in the subsequent discussions. The group work in poster - making promoted students' cooperation ability. Students learned to listen to others' opinions and work together to complete a task. Through the presentation and evaluation of posters, students' speaking and critical thinking abilities were improved. They could clearly express their ideas and objectively evaluate others' work. Deficiencies: Some students had difficulty coming up with unique ideas for their World Activity Day. In the future, more brainstorming activities and examples can be provided to inspire their creativity. During the group work, a few students were less involved. Teachers need to pay more attention to these students and encourage their participation. The time for evaluating the posters was a bit rushed. In the next class, more time can be allocated to ensure a more in - depth and comprehensive evaluation. Improvement Measures: Before the poster - making activity, arrange more pre - writing activities, such as group brainstorming, individual idea - sharing, and providing more sample posters with different themes. Set clear group roles for each student in group work to ensure everyone's participation. Design a more detailed evaluation form and give students more time to discuss and evaluate the posters, so that they can learn more from this process. 2 / 37 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
