    Strenght:
    I think the passage and the exercise are suitable with the Junior High School graders. It is because the exersise can answer the important information of the passage, so the students can more understand the content of the story.

    Weakness:
    This blog, there are no the explanation of descriptive text, and more information of it. So, it idoes not build the students' background knowledge of the students first.

    Suggestions:
    It should be better if you give more basic information of your topic first before you give the learners example of the text and the exercise. And, use more attractive media :D

    Strengths:

    strength :
    - it's great that you've mentioned the objectives of the lesson at the beginning
    - the classroom languages which are used are simple that the students can understand the lesson well

    weakness :
    - the template isn't interactive enough for students of Junior High School
    - the explanation is too long. It's better if you explain it point by point or you may add some pictures there to avoid the students from getting bored

    suggestion :
    - Since it's reading activity, it's better for you to give some terminologies related to the text that you'll give to the students. It will be much helpful to help them comprehend the text easily.

    Overall, it's a nice blog :)

    - nice pictures

    weaknesses
    - some grammar mistakes and punctuation in the explanation
    - the text is too easy for XII grade of senior high school
    - there should be more exercises included

    suggestions
    - it will be better if you check the grammar errors and punctuation before posting your material since it will be read by your students
    - it will be better if you choose longer text with a more advanced vocabulary since this is for XII grade of senior high school
    - it will be better if you add more exercise to let your students have more practice

    Strength
    1. It has clear objective and purpose.
    2. The pistures are interesting.

    Weakness and Suggestion
    1. The arrangement of the explanation is rather not good enough. It will be better if you state the sentences in the form of lines rather than paragraph.
    2. The exercise is too easy. May be you can add a/two question(s) that the answer is implicitly stated in the text.
    3. There are not common diction (langual appearance), and punctuation errors. It's better to use linguistic features instead of langual appearance. For the punctuation, you need to recheck your post.
    4. There is only 1 exercise. It's better to add more exercise to measure the students comprehension.
    Well, it's a nice post. keep blogging and working! :)
