Main Teaching Activities and Time Allocation 主要教学活动和时间分配

Introduction and Definition of Ambiguity: Teacher apologized for initial tech issues and introduced the lesson focus: ambiguity and misplaced modifiers. Defined ambiguity (a sentence having more than one meaning) and wrote down the definition.

介绍与歧义的定义： 老师为初始技术问题道歉，并介绍了课程重点：歧义和错位修饰语。定义了歧义（一个句子有不止一个含义）并记下定义。

Examples of Ambiguity: Examined example sentences like 'I saw the man with the telescope' and 'I saw an elephant in my pyjamas' to illustrate double meanings. Students practiced writing down the sentence and its two meanings.

歧义的例子： 研究了“我用望远镜看到了那个男人”和“我穿着睡衣看到了一头大象”等例句以说明双重含义。学生练习写下句子及其两种含义。

Introduction to Modifiers and Misplaced Modifiers: Defined 'modifier' (a word or phrase that gives more information) and 'misplaced modifier' (a word or phrase put in the wrong place). Analyzed examples like 'Running down the road, the bag fell' and corrected them.

修饰语和错位修饰语的介绍： 定义了‘修饰语’（提供更多信息的词或短语）和‘错位修饰语’（放在错误位置的词或短语）。分析了如“跑下马路，袋子掉了”等例子并进行了修正。

Identifying and Fixing Modifiers: Taught steps to detect modifiers (often ending in '-ing' or providing extra detail) and checking if the described action makes sense (e.g., 'After reading the book, the film was disappointing'). Students practiced identifying issues.

识别和修正修饰语： 教授了检测修饰语的步骤（通常以‘-ing’结尾或提供额外细节），并检查所描述的动作是否合理（例如，“读完书后，这部电影令人失望”）。学生练习识别问题。

Practice Tasks and Wrap-up: Worked through short practice tasks: spotting unclear sentences ('eating dinner, the phone rang') and explaining ambiguity. Reviewed fixing one sentence ('From flying through the air, the ball hit the boy'). Homework assigned.

练习任务和总结： 完成了简短的练习任务：找出不清楚的句子（“吃晚饭，电话响了”）并解释歧义。回顾了修正一个句子（“从空中飞过，球击中了男孩”）。布置了作业。

3. Student Performance Assessment (Brian) 3. 学生表现评估 (Brian)

Participation and Activeness 参与度和积极性

Brian was attentive, especially after the initial technical setup delay. Brian非常专注，尤其是在初始技术设置延迟之后。
He actively responded to direct questions, particularly during the practice tasks. 他对直接提问反应积极，尤其是在练习任务期间。

Language Comprehension and Mastery 语言理解和掌握

Demonstrated solid understanding of the definition of ambiguity. 对歧义的定义表现出扎实的理解。
Quickly grasped the concept of misplaced modifiers, correctly identifying the phone/eating dinner error. 迅速掌握了错位修饰语的概念，正确识别了“电话/吃晚饭”的错误。

Language Output Ability 语言输出能力

Oral: 口语：

Clear articulation when explaining the two meanings of 'I watch the teacher with the glasses'. 在解释“我戴着眼镜看老师”的两种含义时，表达清晰。
Slight hesitation when asked to fix the final sentence, but the final attempt was conceptually correct. 在被要求修正最后一个句子时略有犹豫，但最终的尝试在概念上是正确的。

Written: 书面：

The student was asked to write down definitions and examples, which he confirmed completing promptly.

学生被要求写下定义和例子，他确认已迅速完成。

Student's Strengths 学生的优势

Quickly understood and explained the dual meanings in ambiguous sentences. 能够快速理解并解释有歧义句子中的双重含义。
Good application of the identification steps for misplaced modifiers in practice. 在练习中能很好地应用识别错位修饰语的步骤。
Responded well when the teacher gave examples of what to write down versus what to skip. 当老师给出哪些内容需要写、哪些可以跳过时，反应良好。

Areas for Improvement 需要改进的方面

Minor confusion regarding verb tense usage when correcting the final sentence involving past action ('flew' vs 'flying'). 在修正涉及过去动作的最终句子时，对动词时态的使用略有混淆（‘flew’ 与 ‘flying’）。
Needs more practice applying the correction rules independently under timed pressure. 需要在计时压力下进行更多独立应用修正规则的练习。

4. Teaching Reflection 4. 教学反思

Effectiveness of Teaching Methods 教学方法的有效性

The structured approach of defining the concept, providing examples, and then transitioning to practice was effective. 结构化的教学方法——定义概念、提供例子、然后过渡到练习——非常有效。
Using memorable, slightly humorous examples (like the pyjama elephant) aided retention. 使用令人难忘的、略带幽默的例子（如睡衣大象）有助于记忆。

Teaching Pace and Time Management 教学节奏和时间管理

The pace was slightly rushed towards the end due to initial technical delays, leading to some planned tasks being postponed. 由于初始技术延迟，课程后半段节奏略显仓促，导致一些计划中的任务被推迟。
Overall management allowed for necessary writing and discussion time, maintaining engagement. 整体管理为必要的书写和讨论留出了时间，保持了参与度。

5. Subsequent Teaching Suggestions 5. 后续教学建议

Teaching Strengths 教学优势

Identified Strengths: 识别的优势：

Clear definition delivery for complex grammatical terms like 'modifier'. 对‘修饰语’等复杂语法术语的清晰定义传达。
Effective use of contrasting examples to illustrate ambiguity (what it is vs. what it isn't). 有效地使用对比性例子来说明歧义（是什么与不是什么）。

Effective Methods: 有效方法：

Breaking down the process of spotting a misplaced modifier into distinct, actionable steps. 将识别错位修饰语的过程分解为明确、可操作的步骤。
Prompting the student to articulate the two meanings before moving on. 在进行下一步之前，促使学生清晰地阐述两种含义。

Positive Feedback: 正面反馈：

Excellent job identifying the error in 'eating dinner, the phone rang'. 成功识别出“吃晚饭，电话响了”中的错误，做得非常好。

Next Teaching Focus 下一步教学重点

Completing the remaining practice tasks on ambiguity and misplaced modifiers. 完成剩余的关于歧义和错位修饰语的练习任务。
Introduction to dangling modifiers (a related concept). 介绍悬垂修饰语（一个相关概念）。

Specific Suggestions for Student's Needs 针对学生需求的具体建议

Pronunciation & Reading: 发音与阅读：

Focus on clear pronunciation of '-ing' endings when reading descriptive phrases to reinforce the modifier concept. 阅读描述性短语时，着重清晰地读出词尾的‘-ing’，以巩固修饰语的概念。

Speaking & Communication: 口语与交流：

Practice verbally restructuring sentences to remove ambiguity, focusing on placing the modifier immediately next to the word it describes. 练习口头重组句子以消除歧义，重点是将修饰语紧密地放在它所修饰的词旁边。

Writing & Grammar: 写作与语法：

When correcting sentences, ensure consistency in verb tense usage between the main clause and the modified element. 修正句子时，确保主句和被修饰部分之间的动词时态保持一致。

Recommended Supplementary Learning Resources or Homework 推荐的补充学习资源或家庭作业

Homework assignment focusing on identifying and rewriting 10 sentences containing either ambiguity or misplaced modifiers. 家庭作业，重点是识别并重写包含歧义或错位修饰语的10个句子。
Recommended practice resource: Online quiz/worksheet focusing on identifying subjects performing actions described by present participle phrases. 推荐练习资源：在线测验/工作表，重点是识别执行现在分词短语所描述动作的主语。
