**REFLECTION OF GRAMMAR LESSON PLAN ** I chose Safiye Çelikbaş and Seda Ataşoğlu’s grammar lesson plan to write a reflection. Firstly I liked their lesson plan because they could associate their lesson with previous lesson topic successfully; that is, they could use previous vocabulary lesson about musical instruments in order to introduce the structure “can”, “cannot”. Therefore; pre-part was good. However; I think this limited the content of students’ using the structure because they had to use the structure by the usage of musical instruments. However, later they extended the content by using some sport names such as “tennis, basketball”. Secondly, I liked Safiye’s explaining the difference between “can” and “cannot” by associating “can” with “knowing” and “cannot” with “not knowing”. Thirdly, I liked their activities. However; I found the first activity related to boss looking for a employee a little bit complex. While macro-teaching, we understood it completely different with my partner. We eliminated the boss and we tried to find the correct job by saying his/her abilities. When we come to second activity, I think asking the students to cut the words could be a little bit dangerous. Instead of asking them to do, they would cut it and then they wanted the students to arrange and order them in correct way. Lastly, I think the order of the activities must be changed because the first activity is more challenging and demanding for the students whereas the second activity can be found much easier by the students. We need to pay attention the order of the activities while preparing a lesson plan because the teacher should increase the control on the students gradually. Consequently, the activities were appropriate for the level of the students; therefore, the lesson could run smoothly.
