You did a good job engaging with the students throughout the session by checking for understanding and actively asking them to repeat after you. It was also good how you asked questions like how much students already knew about the topic and encouraged them to share their thoughts. You also adapted your explanations to individual needs, such as when Morgan needed help with the third tone. You also confirmed learners' progress by correcting pronunciation and offering positive reinforcement.

You demonstrated a clear and thorough understanding of tone pronunciation in Mandarin. You did a good job giving precise explanations for each tone and used analogies (like "rolling down and up a hill") to help the students understand the differences between the tones. There was a variety of examples of different characters and practice.

Yes, the students made noticeable progress in tone pronunciation, as shown by their ability to repeat words accurately and apply the different tones in conversation. For example, students initially struggled with distinguishing between tones but were able to improve with your guidance, such as Morgan’s correction in pronunciation of "Ma" vs. "Mao".

You did a great job creating a supportive learning environment by actively encouraging student participation. You also made sure every student felt comfortable asking questions, like your response to a question you called "not dumb." You also personalized the session by checking pronunciation and ensuring all students were involved.
