overall grade ------ A-

This lesson was very well done and close to what a lesson should be.

You are very good with the overall presentation. There are some minor grammar issues here and there though.
You are very good with giving directions to your students.

I saw you use student names, the polite words and praise. Remember to use consistently. Remember to move around the classroom a little, don't always stand at the front.

For the text and song instead of saying "try to catch some words", narrow the focus a little and say "try to catch some comparisons". I think you would have better responses.
One of the real strengths of this lesson was the fact that you exposed the students to a lot of vocabulary not just the ones you presented at the beginning.

The listening activities were all very good.
Listen and order was actually quite challenging. I was really happy to see that. The students really need to be challenged like that on a continual basis. The follow up was good (listen and stick) with missing lyrics. It would be interesting to see you take it one step farther and give the students a lyric sheet with some of the words missing and have them fill in the missing words.
Listen and stick. Personally I'm not a big fan of students digging through a pile of paper on the floor looking for what they need to complete an activity. I think there are much better ways of doing that. Still the activity was very good for listening.
Lets Dance. You connected listening and body movement. That's very good for listening comprehension skills also.

I really liked the write your own words activity. That is a higher level blooms activity. I see too little of that sort of thing. I like that you are expecting more from your students. This is how Thailand will start moving forward much faster.

Good to see the wrap up. It is definitely an important part of the lesson.
