Teaching introspection:
The topic of this Module is about entertainment. & the module task is to ask students to write an entertainment review. So I lead student to know how to write a film review through the analysis of the teaching material. And then, I encourage students to try to write an entertainment review. No matter which steps are taken, the final purpose is to provide teacher and students with information and internal demand to improve teaching skill and learning quality. I think the shining point of my lesson plan is about the learning strategy. The students are eager to express their opinions and ideas. However, their input is not enough. So they are lack of the skills and courage to express their ideas. Therefore, I care for the leaning strategies in my lesson plan, such as scanning, retelling, communication strategy etc. last but not least, it’s about the points I need to improve. firstly, the details of each step, it’s difficult to make it perfect. Then, I should try my best to add more shining points in my lesson plan.
