Class Reflection
What went well?
 We were able to review some of Natalie’s lesson from yesterday with the Google survey
about Internet use (not in lesson plan because it came up later). (Enabling A and B)
 The Ss had a lot of great questions about the vocabulary (makes calls, keeps track of
steps, etc.). (Enabling A) We spent a lot longer on that than I had planned, but it worked
out. We did not have time to talk about the first-person singular.
 I thought the speed-talking activity went really well. The Ss were awake, engaged, and
took turns speaking. (Enabling B)
 The Ss were full of great comments throughout the whole period. I wish we had more
time to continue talking, but we will pick up where we left off tomorrow.
What could have gone better?
 I had meant to hand out the packets before class started, but I didn’t have time
beforehand.
 I should probably remind the Ss to raise their hands before speaking.
What concerns were there?
 [Student] stepped out a couple of times, but not for more than 10 minutes overall.
 [Students] did not have their L/S Logs because they were absent when I handed them out,
but they both reported that they had still completed the homework.
 [Students] forgot to do the homework.
