Reflections	Overall the lesson was quite interesting. The pupils enjoyed the lesson and they were able to read the story with the teacher’s guidance. They were having fun too doing the cover of the story. They had fun colouring. Strengthens The lesson was interesting. 5 out of 17 students could read the story with a little bit of help from the teacher. Another 5 pupils were able to read the story with the teacher’s guidance. Weaknesses 7 out of 17 pupils were not able to read the story clearly. They still tight up with their mother tongue. The rest of the pupils were starting to get uneasy because waiting for their friends to finish reading their story. Solutions To overcome the weaknesses I have to deal with the weak student by drilling them in many ways so that they will be able to catch up with their other friends. I will ask them to read the story line by line. Besides reading, I will ask them to do some crossword puzzle. These are what I am going to do in the next lesson.
