7th Self Evaluation + self evaluation table + a lesson plan

Today I had my 7th Self Evaluation lesson. It was quite boring and I was not in a mood. I'm happy it was not my Evaluative lesson. First of all, I felt not really good at the lesson because of my personal experiences which has nothing to do with my teaching and my practice at school. But I hope everything will be alright though. Second, it was an early morning so it gave some minuses too. Anyway, we managed to do more revision tasks on Grammar books. It was quite boring as I said because there was no variation of the tasks and I couldn't change it because my mentor asked me to do these tasks at the lesson. As always there were no problems with class management and general shape of the lesson. I always follow my lesson plan. The same I did this time. It was quite useful because I knew what I have to do next. There are no problems with my voice too. I always speak at the right speed so that students would be able to understand me. If something is wrong, I ask them if they want me to repeat or explain. Maybe because I wasn't in mood at this lesson my students felt not very well too. But it's so hard to smile when you're feeling bad. Probably it might be the reason why some of the students were not interested into the lesson all the time. Finally, I evaluated myself critically and drew conclusions.
