Dear tutors and friends,
Another week is over with new knowledge gained. The articles " Learning Styles and Strategies"/R.M.Felder and B.A.Soloman/, "Enhancing Learning by Engaging Students"/R.Finnan and D.Shaw/ and all the websites recommended by our tutors opened my eyes for a new outlook to the teaching process in class. I like the ideas of activating the students using their senses and intelligence in finding ways of engaging every individual in the group. " To teach is to engage students in learning..."/R.Finnan and D.Shaw/, if only that could happen every single lesson with every single student! Technology is the source to help and I know that I shouldn't miss a lesson using it.
The task of creating a rubric wasn't difficult. I found it enjoying. I tried a few versions hoping to find the most acurate criteria for assessment of a research report for the WebQuest which I am going to use for my final project.
What have I done so far?
The class for the lesson will be Grade 11, upper-intermediate students at my school.
The issue is to activate the students in reading and writing and motivating them to communicate sharing opinion.
For that aim, I am going to use a WebQuest and as it is something they have never come upon, I started acquainting them with the characteristis and specifics of that technique.
I hope the next steps will be successful in realizing the plan for the lesson.
I am expecting the next assignments with excitement.
My best regards to all of you,
Zlatka
