Workshop

This week we had to make a lesson for listening and speaking skills, then we had to make a lesson for reading and vocabulary. Here is my first lesson. My teacher, my classmates and I were analyzing some lessons and identifying some mistakes that we made when we create the lesson.

I had some mistakes. For example. My objective could be more specific. I could mention the number of words that students will learn. Some parts of my during activity should be done in the Pre listening activity. Also I forgot to write some details such as the interaction that would be in the classroom and others. Another mistake that I made was to call my wrap up, “final activity”. Also this activity needs some changes in order to take more advantage of it.
