| | Teaching Reflection
| This is a reading lesson. It is about how to make an invitation and reply to an invitation. In this unit, the language goals are making, accepting and refusing invitations politely, so this lesson plays a very important role in this unit. While reading, the students should learn to catch the main and the most important ideas as quickly as possible. Based on this topic, not only can students master the reading strategy and improve their reading skills, but they can also learn how to have a party during this class.
After class, we can ask some questions to guide the students to write a passage about invitations. It's very important for them to improve their reading and writing skills.
