Anticipated Problems
Several problems I anticipated in this class include:

  1. There might be few Ss attending the class. The number of the Ss attending the class has been reduced lately. It makes some Ss did not understand the materials given from the previous class. Proposed solution: T will do a review activity.
  2. There will not be enough time to finish all activities in the lesson plan if the Ss find some of the materials are hard to follow. Proposed solution: T will modify the lesson plan according to the real situations happening in the class later (for example, going faster for the one(s) Ss find it easier to follow.
