Teaching
Reflections:
The ability goal is to train students’ reading skills, so I have designed
five reading tasks. From their performance, I can tell they have
mastered the reading skills by completing different reading tasks. From
my point of view, the post-reading is the most interesting because
students correctly filled the blanks while watching the movies
carefully. After the reading tasks, they really understand the true
meaning of Christmas.
