I don’t know why I can’t see the whole plan chart from my computer, but I copied and pasted it to Word. Now, here’s my feedback about your plan. While basic knowledge about the reading is important, I think time spent on vocabulary, idioms, phrases and patterns is far too much. Since the reading is the main body of a lesson, if the students don’t have enough time to absorb it, all they can remember is words or phrases. There are many different ways to teach reading. Integrating vocabulary, phrases and patterns into is one of them. And when it comes to teaching reading, I always put emphasis on the skills of getting the main idea and understanding the structure of a reading text. We’ll try different strategies to achieve the goal when we come to the week “teaching reading”.
Just like Alice said, I think I put much emphasis on vocabulary, idioms, phrases, and patterns. Therefore, I think I should pay attention to the reading part next time. Otherwise, I will ignore the important part, reading.
