These days, I feel a little bit lazy. It’s time to make some lifestyle changes! My friend Martin says that exercise and healthy eating are really important. I’m going to be more like Martin. I’m going to join the gym and get fit. I’m going to eat five portions of fruit and vegetables every day. Fruits and vegetables have many vitamins and minerals that our bodies need. I’m going to have three healthy meals – breakfast, lunch and dinner – and I’m going to cook all my food myself with fresh ingredients– no more fast food for me! I’m going to drink lots of water. I’m going to stop smoking. I’m going to stop going to the pub. I’m going to stop driving and start walking. I’m going to stop watching TV and start running. I’m going to go to bed early and get at least eight hours’ sleep every night. From now on, I’m going to be so healthy! …Tomorrow, I’m going to get fit and healthy…

Reflection

Were the lesson objectives/learning objectives realistic?

Did all the learners achieve lesson objectives/learning objectives?

Did my planned differentiation work well?

Did I stick to timings?

What changes did I make from my plan and why?

The lesson objectives/learning objectives were realistic. Learners achieved lesson and learning objectives. All learners were involved in the learning process. Learning atmosphere was collaborative and friendly. I am sure that my planned differentiation work well. Differentiated task helped to involve all learners to the lesson.

Learners learnt how to work in groups, to make decisions, to learn what they didn’t know before and shared their knowledge. Passive students started to strive forward. Students took more time in preparing a poster. I would keep on improving my skills on working by criteria based system. Finally, I want to say learners need to be motivated to succeed in learning any language. Therefore, teaching materials must be motivating and raise learners interest.

Summary evaluation

What two things went really well (consider both teaching and learning)?

• Filling the Food Pyramid and the poster preparing task.

• Speaking using the new words went well.

What two things would have improved the lesson (consider both teaching and learning)?

• I think I should improve learners speaking abilities.

• It would have been better to use more pictures.

What have I learned from this lesson about the class or individuals that will inform in my next lesson?

• Students’ speaking skills should be improved

• According up to updated curriculum I understood that the main idea is based on active learning by doing.
