Loved your lesson here is my feedback !
Glow:
The lesson plan is highly engaging and student-centered. The use of Pictionary, role-playing, partner practice, and group dialogue activities provides multiple opportunities for students to actively practice idioms in meaningful contexts. The progression from guided instruction to…[Read more]

I loved your lesson here are my GROWS and GLOWS , Glow: Culturally Relevant and Engaging Topic ;the choice to use Spongebob as the vehicle for teaching animal vocabulary is a standout strength of this lesson. Spongebob is a globally recognized cartoon that is highly relevant and familiar to the 14–16 age group, which means s…[Read more]

Great choice of article, it was an interesting read! I think that you’ve clearly understood what the article is stating and compared it alongside what we’ve been taught in the course. I really like how you’ve taken what’s been said and applied it for new teachers as a possible tool. Great thinking!

Overall good job and well done with…[Read more]

Again another really original idea and looks like a lot of fun. I think that you’ve got a good lesson plan here that seems clearly structured and well thought out.

The only thing that I would include, would be perhaps a 5 minute slot of some practice using TT/TS/ST/SS. I think it would be really important especially with younger…[Read more]

I love your topic. I think it’s original and something kids would enjoy. You have clear and more importantly, achievable goals.Lastly, I think your questions are simple enough that a class of high beginner’s would understand them but are complicated enough so that they don’t breeze through them.

The only thing I would add would be in…[Read more]

Your reading lesson on sea animals was fun to read, combining that topic with the theme of Spongebob was a nice choice. Your warmer was interactive and interesting, games such as that involving group work can be a challenge but as we were once students we know they love those most. The time allocated for the warmer also felt…[Read more]

Really like this lesson idea! The use of The Wiggles in the warmer is a great touch and perfect for getting younger learners moving and engaged straight away.

Fun, simple and easy for students to follow, i would enjoy being in this lesson myself!

Thanks
Craig

Looks like you did a great job here. Your couplets seem very relevant and interesting for students. Great detail.

Perhaps as something to stretch for though. You could make more intricate couplets or challenge couplets for those who may find it easy!

I liked the topics you paired with the themes. Combining actors and stars with the hair styles was interesting and would be sure to get the students interested.

Only note I have would be I would have liked more dialog examples. The ones you gave were helpful and creative but making more of a back and forth script would have…[Read more]

Just read through your lesson plan and its really creative and interesting. I think a really cool strength of it is how engaging I imagine it being, especially considering the age group. It’s not just a speaking lesson, it sounds and looks really interactive so i’m sure you’ll have no problem keeping the students’ attention with this!…[Read more]

I enjoyed the energy of your lesson and how colorful it was. The example sentences and pictures were good references to go off of. The structure was easy to understand and enjoyable to read. Your creativity and ability to make the slides came through nicely.

Considering we did a speaking lesson before it makes sense to use the…[Read more]

Really appreciate your thorough review of that article. The takeaway of not treating debate as a random, fun activity, but rather a sincere method to build English skills is really key.

The lesson plan you’ve drawn up was quite the enjoyable read. While having a sett structure can be helpful sometimes it can make you overthink things. After reading what you’ve come up with I feel as if you saw the task at hand and came up with something both engaging and entertaining.

In terms of things you…[Read more]
