Comments (First or jointly First & Second Markers):

Provided a very good lesson plan evaluation report. It included some description of introduction, content,
teaching strategies, and assessment (not evaluation). In particular, you described some parts of lesson components
with some discussion, such as activities to indicate content and teaching strategies. This was adequate, yet,
following major components o good lesson planning could have been better. This affected the discussion provided
which seems fair yet, can be improved by suggesting alternatives of areas of improvement (e.g. objectives,
assessment). Submit a copy via email. Overall, report is very good.
