To start with, I would like to say some words about the length of the lesson. Last Friday the older students in my school were having a party, I mean they were celebrating the last hundreds days to the state exams. For this reason, the lessons for the rest of the pupils were shortened. As You can see my lesson lasten only 30 minutes, actually it is nothing. Moreover, that morning the roads were congested and the traffic was terrible. For the first time, I was stucked in  a long traffic jam. Finally, I was late to my lesson. Fortunatelly, my mentor was very kind and started the lesson instead of me. I was late for about 5 minutes, so I did not miss much but still I could not work according to my plan and to be honest, I did not manage to achieve all the aims and objectives of my lesson. I just hurried as much as I could to do at least half of that I had planned. Talking about the evaluation of my lesson, I am a little bit confused, just because of that I was late, and the lesson was really short.  Still, I think I did my best that time too. I tried to be precise as always. The students were very satisfied with party which was taking place, so they could not concentrate on our work but they were quite silent and I guess waiting for the starting weekend. Fridays are always hard, just as like as Mondays are.  I managed to full fill the biggest part of my plan, we did almost all the exercises I wanted to do but the speed we did them was not normal and I saw that the children were a little bit in  misunderstanding. I think it was a normal reaction because we usually try to do as much as we can but this time it was something unbelievable. Finally, I still think, it was a good experience to try myself and to fit in that short time limit and still do semething necessary.
