Post-session task
Try out a freer speaking activity in class - preferably one you haven't
done before.
Send a reflection on how the activity went to your mentor as part of your next
journal entry.
Describe the activity.
Write the aim clearly.
Evaluate the activity by using the criteria on the checklist
from the session.
How did you deal with correction?
How successful was the activity?
Why was it successful? (Or, why was it not successful?)
Include students' feedback on the activity and explain how you got that feedback
from the students.
