Today was just right after Spring Break, students might be still in vacation on their mind, so I just let them talk what they did during spring vacation.
Class Project- We have to work on Class project for the end of semester. I gave them some options what they want to do for it.
Creating Anime with Xtranormal.com, Video-shooting-1)Onomatopoeia, ２）Introduce something(例えば、各学校について。どんな活動が行われているとか、このビルではどんな科目が勉強できるとか・・お題は後から学生と話しあうつもりで) ３)Interview 4)Cooking 5)Music
How did you present the material? (handouts, group work, general discussion, student presentations, etc.)
I told them we need to decide what we are going to do for class project. 次の時間までに何をしたいか考えてくるように指示。もし他にいいアイディアがあればクラスにもってくるように。
