Teaching Speaking

It was much better than my previos lesson. I am satisfied to a great extent. The warm-up went well since the story of the Ramayana was familiar to them. The main task was also responded to well. But I think I should have spent more time on explaining the story to them after the task was over. I am happy that I included a follow-up exercise.
I also need to be more careful while framing my 'objectives'. I still have some problem doing that.

    Great performance!and warm up activity!Your process of explaining the structure of a sentence was very clear.Also, you clearly explained the importance of body language,eye contact and expressions in speaking. I appreciate your use of power point for the presentation.It was an impressive session.

    Question: Did you include SWAT and all the ABCDs? Consider them while setting the objectives.What did you mean by writing "Negotiate among yourselves" in the objectives?

    Polish:Begin with explicit objectives and revise them in your follow up activity.Also, consider making the Ss memorize the sentence written on the strip and negotiate with their partner rather than just reading it out while doing the strip story.
