Reflection :

Today’s lesson is going well. The pupils gave their responds while reading the text. When I asked questions, they were all put up their hands. But only a few
of them answered correctly. I appreciated the way they showed their interests during my class. At least, they tried their best. The pupils enjoyed when doing
group activity. They were very good at group activity. They find out the answers together. But the most important thing, I need to remember the names of all
pupils in this class. It will take some times to recall it. I will do the best as I can. Overall, they like the way I presented the lesson. I am satisfied with today’s
lesson.
