Overall summary
- Win: Maya held a 90-second turn on weekend plans — clear connectors (“first”, “then”).
- Gap: Past tense in quick answers still slips (“I go” → “I went”).
- Focus next time: Five-minute drill on irregular past forms before reading.
Topics covered
- Weekend plans: sequence words (first, then, after that) and short monologue practice
- Simple past in spoken answers — especially irregulars (go/went, see/saw)
- Short reading on hobbies; scanning for “who / what / where” details
Talk time & participation
| Name | Participation | Duration | % | Level |

Student engagement & comprehension
- Maya was highly engaged, with thorough answers on weekend plans and the hobbies reading — she paraphrased the main idea accurately at the check-in.
- Word stress on longer vocabulary (e.g. “interesting”) still benefits from a quick model-and-repeat; she needed one light prompt to start the reading task, then stayed on task.
Areas needing review
- Pronunciation: Voiced /θ/ in “the” clusters; drill minimal pairs next session
- Grammar: Fast responses in past tense — irregulars and “did + base verb” contrast
Recommended next steps
- 90-second opener: irregular past flashcards → quick oral sentences
- Reuse weekend topic with a new prompt: “best / worst part” to stretch vocabulary
- Parents: two sentences in English after class summarising what Maya practised
