Blackboard design
Reflection Teachers have designed a variety of activities around the teaching objectives, including listening, speaking, reading and writing. These activities basically accomplished the goal of guiding students to use relevant language to communicate with their peers and talk about each other's favorite topics.But there are still some things that can be improved to get better. For example, the topic of preference is limited to favorite subjects and did not extend to other topics. Maybe teachers can design activities that lead students to discuss other preferences so that students can more broadly apply what they have learned to real situations in life.
