Speaking And Listening Reflection

The first thing that comes to mind on what to improve is to model activities for students. This is something that can be easily overlooked, and as such it can affect students tremendously, as they face not only new content, but also being asked to use an ability that perhaps they have never learned before or that still need more guidance, and clarification on how to execute.

This is something that obvious, but that somehow keep failing to take more into consideration, when creating these lessons. However, I really hope to change the way I provide activities for students with my lessons in the
