40、or today. Class is over. Ss: Goodbye, Ms Lin. T: Goodbye. TeachingTeaching Reflection:Reflection: In this lesson, with the usage of the popular modern technology “Douyin” video and a classmates news report which was similar to the Ss familiar local TV station, the Ssinterest was motivated easily and
41、 more or less their fear was gotten over. With the presentation and drills in this lesson, Ss can improve their abilities of solving problems with the clue of “what”and “how”.They can even make use of them to solve the problems in the real life. But if theres more time left, more students can be encouraged to speak out their opinions. Whats more, some Ss are still quite nervous because of the two cameras. They need to practise more to achieve more confidence as well as courage. So more chances need to be offered to them in the coming days.
