Step VI Reflection
According to the new Junior Curriculum Standard,
teachers should cultivate and maintain students’ interest in
learning. So I prepared many amazing pictures to arouse
students’ interest and curiosity. The students were quite
attractive when they saw those unusual pictures. I also
designed many questions to guide the students to learn
about how to make unusual pictures. I encouraged the
students to help each other to solve problems, especially
when they came across some new words and phrases. In
this class ,all the students were hard-working and they
were so creative. Though the students and I cooperated
well ,I felt it a pity that I did not give the students more time
to present their works and they should get some comments
on their works.
