Pronouns. Let’s learn more about Subjective Personal Pronouns.
b. Main Activity
Before we go further, here is a video for you. Let's check it out!
Then, here is the explanation of the Subjective Personal Pronoun.

Now, here’s a song

And this is how it goes!

Subjective Personal Pronouns represent specific people or
things. We use them depending on:

- gender: male (e.g. he), female (e.g. she) or neuter (e.g. it)

Well, look at the following text and pay attention to the highlighted words!
My Family
There are four members in my family. They are my parents; father and mother, my sister and I. We live in a lovely small house. It has five rooms. There are two
bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom, and a kitchen.
Let me tell you about my family. My mother is 47 years old.
Her name is Anisa. She is thin-faced
and she has long, blond hair and
beautiful brown eyes. She is
good-looking, elegant, and always well-dressed. My father, Lukman, is 5 years
older than my mother, so he is 52
years old. He has black-haired with
several grey hairs. He has bright
brown eyes as the same as my mother. He is
quite tall, but a bit shorter than me. He
is very hard-working. He works
in a travel company and sometimes, he
also helps my mother to serve for meals.
Then, the last is my sister, Nadina. She is 22 years old. She
has long, red, wavy hair and bright brown eyes. She is definitely shorter than me. Now, she is studying English in a college in Semarang.
They all very
love as I love them very much. We
live happy in our small house.
Note:
The sentences containing the highlighted words use
subjective personal pronouns to represent the subject which has been already
mentioned before.
Well, we have learnt all about subjective personal pronouns.
In order to help you to memorize the pronouns, watch the video once more, and
remember the song.

strengths :
1. Nice template
2. Nice grammar material with attractive pictures and video
3. the explanation of the topic is clear and interesting since students are engaged to think more
weaknesses:
1. the video used is interesting, but it will be better if the video contains subtitle so that the students can read because the song is too fast.
2. there are two posts with the same content in the same page. it may make students confused
3. the quiz doesn't really work because it can't be used to check the result of the student's work
suggestions:
1. you may need to delete the second post so that there will be one post only
2. you can add another video or replace the video so that your students can learn better.
3. you can fix the quiz presented in your blog to be able to check the result of the student's work

It is great. you have clear explanation and interesting video to make learning grammar more fun.
However, the quiz is not too effective,because the user cannot check the result of their work. moreover, the video also lack of subtitle.
I think you should provide exercises that provide score checker so, the score can be checked by the students directly. Keep working.

well sinta, your blog is good, you have done a great job
strengths
1. your contents and the explanation are good to make students understand
2. the picture and video are good as media in learning the topic
weaknesses
1. the video is too difficult for Junior high school since there is no subtitle
suggestions
it is better if you add some exercises
i think you should find the video that is appropriate to the level of students

what a good page! an interesting video, and appearance. it has provide clear explanation and also exercise. however, i think your first exercise is not quite useful for the students, they should emphasize how to use the pronoun rather than that such kind of pattern. according to me you should change your model of exercise, and also add more exercises to help your students to understanding that material. overall, this is good, thankyou:*

Strengths:
- Simple yet nice template.
- Clear explanation.
- Provide media like video and pictures.
- Provide quizzes.
Weaknesses and suggestions:
- You should give bigger pictures since the pictures are small. I think bigger pictures would attract students easily.
- It's better to use subtitle than just give lyrics below the video.
- About the exercises, you have got the advices from the comments above.
Overall this is a nice blog. keep blogging :)

strength :
- it's great that you've mentioned the objectives of the lesson at the beginning of your lesson
- the template is interesting enough
- the classroom language which is used is also simple that make the students easily understand the lesson
weaknesses:
- it's good that you give them a video. However it's too fast for students of Junior High School. Furthermore, there is no subtitle on the video. Though you've written the lyric below, yet it's hard or even impossible for the students to watch the video and read the lyric at once
- For Students of JHS, it's good that you use picture dictionaries which are included in the way you deliver the materials. However, I think the picture is too small and each of them need a kind of explanation.
Suggestion :
- it's better that you make the picture dictionaries bigger and also add some more explanation on each of them.
- may be you need to revise the video in such a way that it has a subtitle
Overall, it's a nice blog. Good jo! :)

strenght:
- nice blog and template. it can make the students more interesting.
- the explanation is clear enough.
weakness and suggestion:
- the first exercise is not efective. it's better if you change it with the single sentence practice, before let your students do the second exercise in the form of passage. :D

your website is interesting. There is a brainstorming toward students, so the students get knowledge first before learning grammar. There are also quizzes to train students' competency.
However, it will be better if you make your font size become larger so the students can easily read your material. You can put some pictures to make your website more attractive.
Way to go! :)
