Blackboard Design Words and expressions about amazing animals and plants： largest, heaviest, fastest, most beautiful, one of the oldest ,tallest Teaching Reflection In this lesson, students explored amazing plants and animals while practising listening, speaking, and pronunciation skills.The lead-in activity successfully engaged students by connecting the topic to their prior knowledge.But I noticed some students hesitated to share their thoughts, suggesting a need for more encouragement or scaffolding. Pair and group activities encouraged interaction, but I should give more time for peer feedback to ensure all students participate actively.Overall, the lesson reached its objectives.In future classes, I will use more pictures and repeat hard parts.This will help students better understand difficult ideas. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
