VII. Reflections:

This is a reading lesson which talks about earthquake in Tangshan. I present some pictures with my own students, so when the pictures are showed, the students are excited and active. I think it’s necessary for students to know the common knowledge of earthquake. Therefore, I give them two situations: during the earthquake and after the earthquake. Seeing my clues, they can talk about how to deal with an earthquake, and they can even want to help people in trouble. So I think they improve their abilities.
