Lesson evaluation
The objectives of the lesson were reached because most of the pupils were active and participated in the lesson with pleasure. In spite of that fact, there were few Ss who tried to disturb me and I had to punish them somehow. I invented so called “Punishing Chair ”, which stood in the centre of the classroom and if somebody disturbed during the lesson, his/her punish was to sit on it for one minute. It worked well because after one minute period of sitting in front of the class Ss apologized for wrong behaviour.
