Teaching Reflection
This lesson successfully guided students to analyze contrasting perspectives through reading.
Students were engaged in predicting, skimming, and scanning tasks,and effectively compared Helen's and Peter's feelings using adjectives. The discussion on attitude was meaningful. However,some students struggled to use the present continuous tense accurately in their weather descriptions. Next time,I will provide a clearer writing frame with sentence starters and key vocabulary before the drawing task to better support output..
