eBAY

Today's topic was the web site eBay/shopping plus the song 'Don't You Want Me?' by the Human League.

Discussing eBay stage:
The students who interacted most in the discussion were Sadok and Houda.

Discussing the song 'Don't You Want Me?' stage;
The students who interacted most were Houda,Ghada and Marwa.
Sadok didn't discuss the song so much,later he told me he preferred instrumental music.
Overall the students enjoyed talking about the song,especially the girls,as the topic of love
was obviously a topic they could easily relate to.

From the book Reflective Teaching in Second Language Classrooms,Richards,J.C.,in the chapter,approaches to classroom investigation,some important procedures are recommended:
Bailey 1990,Porter et al.1990,Walker 1985 state that it's important to make entries on a regular basis and immediately spend time after the lesson in writing up about the lesson
In addition to review the journal entries as some things which were not obviously apparent might appear so later on.

On page 16 Richards,J.C. mentions some reflection questions to guide thé writing of the journal:
What did you set out to teach?
Were you able to accomplish your goals?
What teaching materisls did you use?
What grouping arrangements did you use?

Did anything amusing or unusual occur?
Did you discover anything new?
Did students contribute actively to the lesson?
Were the students challenged by the lesson?
What do you think the students really learned from the lesson?
What did they like most about the lesson?
What didn't they respond to?
