Thanks for the group three’s presentation. You did a generally great job.
1. Chose interesting and suitable learning material for students
I felt the extract from a film you chose for listening material was very lively and appealing. I liked it a lot. But if your learners were high school level, you might need to choose something a bit easy for them.
2. Repetition is needed
In general, students need to listen more than once to fill in the blanks. So, it was good that group 3 let students listen to the film for around 2-3 times.
3. Checking answer before students’ performance
I thought teachers should check answers of the blanks before assigning students to perform on the stage instead of after students’ performance.
4. Let the peers grade each other
I felt this was so wonderful because all students could feel that they actively got involved in learning. Somehow teachers did need to offer space for students to grade themselves.
* The grading sticks you designed were so cute and fantastic!
5. Practice new words from the listening material
I liked the way you put lists of words on the blackboard and encouraged students to pick up a word and to make a sentence by themselves. This could let students exercise (move) a bit instead of sitting on the chair for too long.
6. Remember to assign the homework
If teacher assigned some homework for students to do, they could practice a bit more outside the class and remember better about today’s lesson.
