This past week was a bit smoother than last week, considering that my students and I attended the Charter Day festivities this past Tuesday at the University of Guam. This week I decided to have the students be the teachers. They were responsible for presenting the information that I provided for them. They were also responsible for leading the class discussion, in a group of 7 or 8 of them. Experience: I was really pleased because my student that I have been having a hard time with "the one I also bring up in class" was participating, he was taking the lead on Thursday and Friday. He was reading and writing and I was amazed. I tried something different, I assigned leaders of the group, and out of curiosity, I decided to make him the leader, and he took it seriously. I will be trying this again next week.
Can someone please tell me how the students will be acting after they return from Spring Break, considering the Summer will be fast approaching.
I'm so happy to read that your curiosity resulted in that student stepping up to the plate and performing well in class!
ReplyDeleteI'm also worried about how my students will act after spring break because there will only be 7 weeks of classes until summer and a lot of information to get through. Hopefully, they will get the vibe that it is time to get to work and that their reward (summer) will be that much sweeter after doing the work and doing it well.
