9th Self evaluation lesson plan + self evaluation table

Today I had my 9th self evaluative lesson. Almost all the students were at the lesson so we were able to continue our "weather" topic. This time we were doing a lot of practice. My voice was audible all of the time and I could easily manage the class. I spoke at the right speed so that every student would be able to understand me at the lesson. Together with the students we have created and maintained a purposeful working atmosphere. Despite the fact, that not all of the students were interested all of the time, we managed to do all the tasks. It means my lesson plan was very useful and the time each activity took worked out as planned. What is more, the pace of each segment was appropriate for the type of activity. That is why we managed to do all the tasks just on time. I phrased the questions correctly in order to get the answers I wanted. However, the types of questions were not varied because we have focused more on doing the exercises than speaking. What is more, I paid enough attention to each student in the class and I checked that every student had understood the main teaching point. There were no unexpected situations in the classroom. Finally, I succeeded in achieving my aim and evaluated my teaching critically.
