23、ow youre going to spend your Christmas in 2018. Blackboard Design: 7 REFLECTION Lesson 19 has been selected from the English book of primary school of Grade 3, the second semester, which is based on Tsinghua edition. The theme of this unit is “Special Days” and its teaching aim is to enable students
24、 to express themselves during holidays. For this lesson, the key words are: Christmas, Santa Claus and Christmas tree. The main sentences are: Look at/ Merry Christmas and “At Christmas, people say “Merry Christmas” to each other. Based on the students previous knowledge and personal experience, the
25、yre quite familiar with the target language and have mastered the sentence structure “Look at.” in their last semester. So the main teaching aim provided of this lesson is easy to access for most students, and I have added the activity of decorating a Christmas tree, to bring in more expressions, li
26、ke the decorations on the tree, and the sentence structure “We put _ on the Christmas tree” to expand the content and the atmosphere of Christmas. The Class has been designed through questions in a strong logical way so as to make students think and grasp their curiosity. Starting from the perceptua
27、l question of “what color do you think Christmas is?” to lead in Santa Claus, then to presents, then to Christmas tree and finally to the activity of decorating the Christmas tree. So basically speaking, I think the students are interested in learning and the teaching aim has been well accomplished.
28、 And frankly, this is our first try to bring in so many words to expand the content of the class. And the students really did a good job. I think in later learning, I can be more open to my students and bring them more input. And therere some aspects that I think I need to improve. 1. Class atmosphe
29、re control. This requires more training to students in daily teaching and will be one of the most important goals for me in this semester. 2. More input in daily teaching to satisfy students individual needs of different learning levels. 3. More encouragement to students and better assessment. 4. More focus on practicing part, more time should be given to the students.
