I really liked your lesson plan and the fact that you included lots of fun activities to help students learn new vocabulary and practise their reading skills. I think the magical creatures theme is a great idea, and I especially liked the games and group activities because they encourage students to participate and use their…[Read more]

I think this is a super effective and quick way to get the students to immediately start the day off by personalizing the material being presented to them, without them directly knowing it too! It seems like a fun and fast activity to start the day off.

Presentation
For your presentation stage, I would recommend…[Read more]

Great job completing the assignment! I think it’s a super unique and creative lesson plan! Something the students would thoroughly enjoy.

I think this is a super quick, easy, and interactive game for the students to get engaged and ready for the day’s lesson. One critique or issue you might run into is it peer dep…[Read more]

I really enjoyed reading through your lesson plan! It was interesting to see how you prepared a speaking lesson for the topic and then compare it to my reading approach! I liked the interview activity and thought that the interview sheet gave students useful prompts while still asking them to use their own ideas. I also really liked…[Read more]

Also enjoyed reading through your lesson plan! Your lesson plan has a clear PPP structure, with timings that add up to 50 minutes, and the reading skills progress sensibly from prediction through skimming, scanning, and comprehension to inference. The 16-line text is short and level-appropriate, the only suggestion I have here is to…[Read more]

I really enjoyed reading your lesson plan and thought the Ski Adventure topic was a great choice, especially for students who might not have experienced snow or skiing before. I really liked your warmer activity where you slowly reveal the picture and have students guess what they see. I think that’s a fun way to get everyone involved…[Read more]

I really liked your lesson plan and thought compliments was a great topic to choose. I especially liked the Category Race activity because it gets students working together and thinking of different compliments before starting the lesson. I also thought the mini debate was a good idea because it gives students a chance to share their…[Read more]

The “What’s Missing?” warmer is a good choice because it gets students actively participating while reviewing familiar animal vocabulary, which helps prepare them for the reading. I also like that the story…[Read more]

The Reading Lesson

Before I start I need all of you to imagine for five minutes that you are in Korea and you are trying to get a taxi to go to a well-known site. You do not understand a word of Korean. You turn to someone passing by for help, they try to help you but they only speak Korean. They are speaking…[Read more]
