Participation and Activeness 参与度和积极性

Student actively participated in the discussion, especially during the verbal recall section where she successfully identified most structures and functions. 学生积极参与讨论，特别是在口头回忆环节，成功识别了大部分结构和功能。
Required prompting for deeper scientific reasoning during the review of the experiment's conclusion. 在回顾实验结论时，需要提示以进行更深层次的科学推理。

Language Comprehension and Mastery 语言理解和掌握

Good understanding of the leaf structure-function links once presented visually and interactively. 一旦以视觉和互动方式呈现，对叶片结构与功能联系的理解良好。
Struggled slightly when explaining the nuance of why starch is stored (excess glucose) in the homework review, indicating a need to solidify the link between photosynthesis products and storage. 在作业回顾中，解释淀粉储存的原因（过剩葡萄糖）时略有困难，表明需要巩固光合作用产物与储存之间的联系。

Language Output Ability 语言输出能力

Oral: 口语：

Clear and understandable communication, though speed varied. Successfully used scientific terminology during structure identification. 交流清晰易懂，尽管语速有所起伏。在结构识别过程中成功使用了科学术语。
Pronunciation generally good, with occasional slight hesitation before complex scientific terms. 发音总体良好，但在复杂的科学术语前偶尔有轻微的停顿。

Written: 书面：

N/A (Activity involved typing notes into a shared document/table, which was completed adequately.)
