Suggestions:

Better to differentiate between the objectives that are stated for revision.
You need to time your activities.
Avoid giving your back to the students while writing on the board.
Try to raise your voice.
Better to include your instructions in the lesson plan.
Make sure of your questions when asking the student to write on the board.
Better to use more body language and smiling.
Try not to confuse the students a lot.
Check the language specially pronunciation such as formula, also grammar.
Try to capture the students attention, give them instructions and then let them start

the activity, they started working quickly.

The video was not very clear and the students could not hear well.
Be careful about plurals and singulars.
Do not be busy with other things, pay attention to the students.
The lesson was mostly teacher centered not student centered, you gave your back to
the students and answered the activity by yourself without involving the students in

modeling.
The students were confused about the core activity.
Try to simplify your language to the students.
Avoid asking little ones the questions of did you understand?.
The class turned into mess and you were confused of whom to check or cover.
Better to stop the groups and check that they are paying their attention to you.
Keep your eyes on the student who is answering and the whole class.
Watch out the timing of the activities.
Not enough student-centered activities during the lesson.
The last activity took less time than expected.

Personal Aim for next lesson

Halima is going to focus on the students and use body language with smile.
Try to balance between teacher and student centered activities.
