Areas for Improvement
1. Some students struggled with the vocabulary in the texts. In future lessons, I will provide more vocabulary support and pre teaching activities.
2. A few students were hesitant to participate in group discussions. I will implement more ice breaker activities to build confidence and encourage participation.
3. Some students did not fully understand the concept of the past perfect tense. I will review this grammar point in the next lesson and provide more practice exercises.
