What worked well in this class? What did not work?
The discussion went very well. Finally the students started using the full sentences, not just separate words. The video was definitely a success. I’ll try to find videos with not many words as they react better and don’t feel the pressure to understand every single word then.
How could this class be improved/ modified?
