As well as criticisms and feedback about Reading 3.
We’ll start by looking at two things: first Reading 3, and then my teaching. Give at least one point of feedback for each point below. Discuss these with a partner. Keep your comments focused on Reading 3. My teaching will be looked at next. What helped, didn’t helped, and could have helped with: 3. The reading journals 4. The portfolios 5. The group projects 6. The final exam Do you feel like you succeeded last
Discuss these with a partner. PLEASE be honest and constructive. What helped, didn’t helped, and could have helped with: 3. My explanations and directions 4. How I applied the reading skills 5. How I addressed question types 6. Feelings of productivity in the classroom Did I meet your expectations?
