Class theme/topics discussed:
Project2: A Romantic story at Pomona
How did you pick this theme or topic?

Last week, students learn the topic of romance. This week, they can finish their own romantic story and output new expressions they learnt.

How did you present the material? (handouts, group work, general discussion, student presentations, etc.)

Group work, student presentations

How did students react?

They like photo taking. It’s a little bit difficult for them to make a story within 20 minutes; however, it’s also a good way to make them have a great conversation
Did they engage with each other and you?

Yes. They engaged with each other and me pretty well and asked me questions before photo taking.

What materials or media did you use? (articles, satellite tv, digital projector, etc.)

Digital camera
Please attach a copy.

Would you recommend this activity for a future class?

Yes

Why or why not?
It gives students lots of freedom to use the language they learned and also provide a good chance for them to integrate new and old knowledge together to finish the project.
