OVERALL COMMENTS AND REFLECTIONS:

The lesson in general was so well prepared and well planned. Materials used were ready for the
students. I have one comment only. In my opinion, instead of having the same questions for all
students. I would give the students the chance to come up with their own interview questions as
their assignments and I would give my comments and do my corrections. This way they would
improve their assessment skills and show their creativity in this activity
The videos needed to be discussed more in a way to let students give their opinion about each
other work, instead of the teacher giving her comments only.
