Modal verbs

Good news- I passed my first observed lesson!

Dan, one of the instructers at TEFL, observed my small group's first solo lessons on Friday afternoon. Lucky for us, we had a group feedback session right after and it went really well. The 4 of us decided that no matter what we will give honest and useful feedback to one another (how else will we learn?) after each lesson presentation (twice a week from now on). With Dan sitting in we had a very productive session and learned a lot.

Although my grammar lesson content wasn't fantastic-i hate modal verbs now-I felt quite comfortable standing in front of the classroom directing the lesson. This was surprising to me, considering I have never done this before in my life. I have a deeper respect for the teachers I know in my life, it's not as easy as it looks!
