EVALUATING FEEDBACK (A1) 1. That was A-MAZE-ING! It is the best lesson I have ever seen. Thank you so much.

2. The students were bored.

3. You didn’t check the answers at the end of the second activity.

4. My students are always confused about the difference between simple past and present perfect too.

5. How did you feel when you forgot the correct word?

EVALUATING FEEDBACK (A2)6. You should have written the vocab on the board. Also, in

general your boardwork wasn’t very good, was it?

7. I think it is important to give students thinking time. What do you think?

8. Next time I think you should probably spend more time planning.

9. That activity worked very well today but I don’t think it would work with higher level students. What would you do with them?

10. Why didn’t you put the students in pairs? Don’t you think a more student-centered way would be better?
