Reflection This lesson is a reading lesson. In the previous lessons, students have learned the relevant expressions of dates and activities. Before reading, teacher should test and activate students’ existing knowledge, so that they can constantly consolidate their old knowledge and learn new knowledge. The activities designed in this class are diverse and student-centered, allowing students to actively participate in class activities, including individual expression and group cooperation, in various forms and rich content. In terms of activity design, it is easier to arouse students' interest in learning by connecting students' daily life in the form of pictures and tables. It follows the process of learning and understanding, applying and practice, transferring and creating. However, in one class, students may not have a firm grasp of the existing knowledge, such as the use of the months and ordinal words may cause mistakes, and students at different levels have different acceptance abilities for new knowledge, so different needs of students at different levels should be paid attention to in the design of teaching plans.
