more food

Continued with the topic of food.

This morning one of the new teachers,James,observed the class and noted down the different interactions that took place in the pair/group activities for example he observed that for group one Sadok was the main instigator for starting off the acitivity and in the other group it was Houda.He also noticed that the 'leader' of each group had their 'preferred partner' to interact with and in each group there was a 'gooseberry' who was trying to join in the group by putting his hand up to get attention but was mostly ignored until suddenly the 'leader' realised their presense.
He also observed that Makram was quiet in his participation(the number of tally ticks for his interactions were very low)

The different interaction stages:(the students either worked in pairs or groups)
discussing the definitions(in groups of threes),ordering the sentences of the story(in groups of threes),retelling the story(in pairs/a group of threes),true/false sentences about the story(in pairs/group of three),discussing /inviting the teacher to their favourite restaurant/home for a meal(in groups)
