Post-lesson reflection on the activity
What went well? Why?
Did you and your students achieve what you wanted to achieve? Note down several things you are proud of about this activity. Why did it feel good? Did your learners enjoy this activity? Why? Were all the learners involved? Did it suit your learners’ learning styles?
During the lesson I used Learner Centred Classroom approach taught by Kate Cory-Wright. By the end of the lesson students used the Present Simple and the Present Continuous talking about averyday activities, ask and answer questions on the topic “Family” using the Present Simple and the Present Continuous, put wh-questions to learn about everyday activities. They Completed a letter to a teacher as a game. The learners produced the group letter about  everyday activities they usally do. All the students were involved because all of them should make up and add  a sentence to a letter. They also  developed the ability to form wh-questions and do the tests correctly, ability  to do the test on choosing the correct answer,  to practice vocabulary and  grammar and develop skills for analyzing and summing up. The Learnerscould  identify the characteristic features of Present Simple and Present Continuous, share their ideas and find common categories. I think all  the students enjoyed that activity at the lesson because they worked in a group and helped each other to learn the material.
What didn’t go well? Why?
Is there anything that you didn’t achieve (activity)? Can you identify any points where your instructions could have been clearer? Was the time used efficiently? Were there any points where you felt awkward or uncomfortable? If so, why?
There was the activity when the learners found difficulty in using Present Simple not Present Continuous for the verbs: feel, see, hear, like, love, hate ets. Because they can listen to songs where the words are used in Continuous aspect, like: I am feeling sad… So my instructions should be clearer, but we do not have much time at the lesson. Next time I will pay more attention to this phenomenon. I think the time at the lesson for the activity was used efficiently because the task was done well and thanks to group work all the students were involved into the lesson activities and learned the material.
What changes will I make next time? Why?
If you taught the same activity again, what would you do the same? What would you do differently? What have you learned about this activity?
I would organize the activity at the lesson in the same way. I would like to use a computer lab to make students write a letter to a teacher  individually on the computer and make the program evaluate the learners achievements.

Post-lesson reflection on the activity
What went well? Why?
Did you and your students achieve what you wanted to achieve? Note down several things you are proud of about this activity. Why did it feel good? Did your learners enjoy this activity? Why? Were all the learners involved? Did it suit your learners’ learning styles?
I think we achieved the goals of the lesson. Each student worked well. I admit the skills and concepts applied on the pupil’s page are developed first through oral language expression. I am proud of my students interested in learning English as I myself like it very much.  All the skills in this unit are auditory and visual skills that have been introduced reviewed and evaluated in the previous forms and level of the program. All the students learned the material well and have good memory to remember the learning material. So they enjoyed the activity at the lesson. They like to speak about their every day activity and they like to boast they can do in real life. More over they do like to say it in English. I am sure all the students developed their Language and study skills and learned appropriate structures and word- combinations of the lesson got language knowledge and the activity suited to my learner’s learning style. 
The activity "warmers"  "Language chunk" was used. Little Learnes understand the language chunk in the context of the situation.One by one learners had to tell what they like and what they do not like.The winner was the one who had told the most sentences in a game.The activity was enjoyed greatly and all the students were involved. The result was great. All kids had learnt the structures by the end of the lesson.

What didn’t go well? Why?
Is there anything that you didn’t achieve (activity)? Can you identify any points where your instructions could have been clearer? Was the time used efficiently? Were there any points where you felt awkward or uncomfortable? If so, why?
While doing speaking activity there was a little contradiction and difference between Spoken Interaction and Spoken Production. In this way my instructions should be more particular and clear. Firstly I should pay more attention to Spoken Production. The activity "warmers"  "Language chunk" was used. But not all children knew the names of everyday activities. So next time I should bring the pictures to the class and make students choose the ones they know to involve the kids into activity and reach the results better.
What changes will I make next time? Why?
If you taught the same activity again, what would you do the same? What would you do differently? What have you learned about this activity?
If I taught the same activity again I would do the same according to lesson plan. While reading the dialogue with the appropriate structures and word- combinations I would  use the picture to demonstrate the action in the dialogue and introduce the role-play by the students. I think it makes the understanding and implementation of the material better. The activity "Warmers" involves all the learners and helps to remember the learning material bettet.
