Ⅴ. Assessment

1. Participatory assessment method

Design all kinds of activities and the students participate in it.

2. Encourage assessment method

In the whole teaching activity， I use words and posture to make encouraging evaluation. All kinds of vivid， appreciative or encouraging language and students applause are like stimulants， which make students feel refreshed and their learning information soar. It is also like a warm current， which makes them feel the teachers warmth. Satisfy their sense of accomplishment and make the classroom atmosphere warmer.

3、Group assessment method

In the practice of retelling milk shake making， four students work in groups to explain the steps of making milkshake. Then， one person will write down the steps they discuss on a piece of sticker and and paste it on the blackboard at the position designated by the teacher. When their group production is posted and praised by other students， every member of the group can enjoy the joy of success.

Ⅵ. Teaching reflection

The classroom teaching effect of this class is very good. Classroom practice proves that in the eighth grade English teaching， interesting teaching activities can fully arouse students learning potential. Group cooperation enhances students cooperation and team spirit.

For example， in the process of reviewing and making milkshake in the group，

students actively speak for the honor of their group. The design of this activity makes students realize that learning English is for meaningful communication in natural and real situations and flexible application in life. In addition， the infiltration of ideological education should be carried out under natural and real conditions， and should not be blind or far-fetched. The teaching of this class focuses on the topic of loving life. I naturally give students ideological education in the process of demonstrating their abilities， that is， Love our life， love our parents.
