Teaching Reflection
Today's lesson went smoothly. Students actively participated in role-plays and discussions, showing good understanding of Judy's feelings. The language analysis helped them grasp key expressions,but some found it hard to think deeply about “effective communication methods”. To address this, I'll connect the question to specific lines in the dialogue to guide them. Next class, I'll also share simple real-life examples to make the concept more relatable.
