Ⅵ Teaching reflection:
The content of this period is about the table manners in China and all over the world, which is important and useful for students to learn different culture in different countries. They have great interest on the content, so they make lots of preparations before class. I think students performed very well in this class.
However, I am a little nervous during the class, a part of the reason is that it was the first time I used the equipment. I hope I’ll be better and calmer next time. English Curriculum Standard pays attention to develop students’ understanding about different culture all over the world, so we should expand more culture of different countries in English classes.
