4th Self Evaluation + self evaluation table + a lesson plan

Today I was very happy about my lesson. It went very well and according to the plan! First of all, my plan was very useful, I wanted to do all listening activities in 12 unit with my students. And we did! Everything went according to my plans. Also, there was variation in types of activities: we did listening and reading tasks. The time each activity took worked out as planned and I was very happy about it! What is more, there were no problems with my voice because it was audible all of the time and students could hear me very well. I established and maintained a purposeful working atmosphere. After the lesson teacher said that it was really a good lesson and she is proud of me. The lesson went very smoothly. As my mentor said there was a natural flow. This time I used tape-recorder and blackboard a lot. I think it was very useful for students because they could see how to write one or another word, also they were able to listen to native speakers on the tape. I ensured that all students take part in each activity. In other words, I paid attention to each student in the class. Students were in a good mood, ready to work and cooperate with me. I was really happy about this lesson. And now I will have some time to rest because it will be weekend.
