In the begining, group 3 demonstrated the paradigm to divide students into groups in an effective and creative way. In the process of delivering worksheets, it was working on grouping. They used stickers pasting on each worksheet as classification, so we can easily find our partners in accordance with the same token. During the activity of dictation, the speed of the movie seemed a little bit fast that we couldn’t catch up the worksheet, so they replayed the movie several times to let us fill in the blanks of the worksheet as much as possible. After the dictation, it was the show time for students to role play. Every group had different interpretations at the same script and we can review what we just learned earlier. Again, the flashcard game is another learning activity repeating the topic we learned today. As Alice said in class, repetition is a kind of reinforcement. I think I will keep what I got from the presentation of group 3 deeply in mind and look forward to such enjoyable learning atmosphere next time!
Dear Clare：
Your feedback to our group is really nice.
Actually, I did not think that we did a good job on our demonstrations,
but through your description of our work,
I started to find out some advantage in it.
I felt so embarrassed that most of you guys have positive comments on our works,
because I really don’t think we’re worth that much.
So, thanks for your comments.

I think Michelle, Kate and Yoko grouped the students in a very efficient way. The movie clip they prepared did catch our attention. It’s a pity that the blanks we were required to fill in were kind of difficult. It would be more challenging for high school students. That’s why I suggested they turn the exercise into a simpler exercise, such as multiple choices (recognition) or one-word blank filling (production) rather than sentence writing. Repetition is needed but too much would bore the students so some variation is needed. Wow, don’t you think it quite tough to teaching a lesson right?
