This is 12th grade and English is their first language. Some of the students are late. They have
to give explanation for this reason and teacher doesnt allow taking their seats till the other students
finish their reading exercise. Some of these students dont like this idea, but the teacher is strict in her
decision.

and gives explanation about the answers.

the text and have to read it aloud. .

Analysis, Evaluation, Recommendation

In my opinion, this is a good start because it

makes all the students feel the working
atmosphere and become active as soon as
possible and in that way the efficiency of the
class would be improved.
The reading practice improves pronunciation as
well as helps students learn new words and I
think that by encouraging students to provide
synonyms the word is learned easier.

Section D: Overall assessment of the quality of the lesson <is this a good lesson, why?>
I believe that this is a very good lesson since the teacher made almost all of the students work, at least
a little bit, but having in mind that this is 12th grade Also, the points made during this lesson are very
useful for the students. They all share different opinions and the target is to find the common
conclusion.

Today they did a lot of exercises so I dont have any objection.
