Reflection after teaching

Though students need to be trained three kinds of reading strategies: predicting, skimming & scanning, as a teacher, I should guide them to think and encourage them to express their own opinions freely, using what they’ve learnt.

What’s more, how to control the class is an important issue for me. I need to encourage the Ss to express their own thinking by themselves.
