You could print out this checklist to help you reflect after you have used the lesson technique with a class of your own.
1.
Introduction: Did you arouse student interest in the
topic?
Were the objectives clear to the group? Did the class settle down to
work?

Was it adequate for time available? Was it well sequenced?
3. Interest:
Did you maintain and promote student interest in the topic?
Did you use a variety of examples and activities to keep students'

Questioning: Did you use different sorts of questions to help
students progress?
Did you promote two-way communication between yourself and your
students?
5. Student

Are you aware of any who will need more help, or others who may need
