Blackboard design
Reflection This is a listening and speaking lesson.I design two table to give student an informal framework which can facilitate students’ learning and language output. I give them some key interrogatives like where, how, what, when and who. But maybe the lesson is lack of emotional education, thus maybe I should guide students to give comment on Paul’s weekend after listening and consolidate new phrase stay up late at same time. Besides, how to help students in internalizing the why of describing and asking about weekend activities more effectively still need to be thought over.
