Topic/Lesson Title: English Literature Class - What is Real Love?
Source of Inspiration/ Experimental Goal
I have never taught English literature. However, in near future, I might have to teach English literature because if some students want to take an English literature course, schools have to open it. I am afraid and cautious of of teaching English Literature because I am not a native speaker of English and I do not know much about it. But, as I took a ‘short stories’ class, I thought I could start with short stories and do some activities that can stimulate their imagination and develop their creativity.
Language Skills: speaking, writing, reading, listening
Learning Objective: (What will learners know or be able to do after your lesson?)

Teaching Development Goals: (What do you hope to learn and/or accomplish as an educator?
Which criteria will you be focusing on improving)
Which criteria will you be focusing on improving)
