Reflection about my lesson

I met group members to discuss how we would teach students "What do you have for ~?". We decided to focused on "Warm-up" and "Practice".

In our lesson, first we played the word game as warm-up. In this game one said favorite food and tossed ChokiChoki to someone...... Next we asked the question "Do you like~?" as review. And then, we wrote "Do you have for ~?" and "I have ~" on the blackboad. We read the textbook and got students to repeat it. We demonstrated that "What do you have~?" is useful phrase by the short play. We taught "breakfast, lunch and dinner" before we asked some students "What do you have for~?". After that, we played the game as practice. The pair asked the question about meals and answered it each other. Finally, we repeated the phrases.

I think the most successful parts of the lesson are "Practice", because students seemed to enjoy asking the question. However we should improve how to teach new words, because some sudents didn't seem to understand them. For example, we should have demonstrated them with colorful picture. And we should improve the way of repeating, because some students could not pronounce the phrases and understand them well. For example, we should have got students to repeat rhythmic as Mr.Hall did or used music. So I think that was the least successful parts of the lesson.

I want to try this lesson once again! If I can do, I would focus repeating and how to teach new words.

I had many improvement, but I enjoyed teaching this lesson. Mr.Hall, thank you so much for giving me a good chance.

Sometimes you can draw pictures on the blackboard or demonstrate new words physically. I will talk about this on Thursday, but I thought it would have been nice if you had written the words of the food on the blackboard when you were doing warm-up.
