    Students enjoyed small class sizes and reading books like Holes, Animal Farm, and Sophie's World at home, particularly discussing Sophie's World. Teachers found ways to help students improve their writing skills, such as analyzing common errors, using those errors in worksheets, and having students examine writing models. Vocabulary and collocation instruction involved having students use new words in context, like requiring they include certain collocations in essays. Teachers brought classes together and used videos, lectures, and TED talks to spark discussions, finding them productive ways to engage students. Informal quizzes helped ensure students understood the material.

    Reflection

    Introduction from Anna Maria


    Say whatever you want but try to keep it positive-solutions if there is a problem

    Open discussion
    Students need to have more group projects so that they can work in teams, cooperate
    Coordination between prep and faculty
    Small class sizes were great
    Reading at home was great Holes, Animal Farm, and Sophie’s World
    The students really like Sophie’s World discussion

    Writing
    Shadi analyzed Ss errors and brought them up one by one to help them with individual
    problem areas. He made worksheets with class specific errors.
    Esma used student writing errors as correction activities on the board.
    Akin has Ss look at writing models

    Vocab and collocations


    Suzanne asked Ss to use a collocation in their essay draft. Ss were required to tell her
    beforehand which collocations they would use, so she was able to look for it in the essay.
    This gets students to improve their vocab in context
    Robin circles weak vocab in students essays and tells them to use a synonym for words like
    big and bad

    All books on Smartboards


    Bringing Ss together from different classes into the game room to discuss articles
    Having videos in class to begin discussions worked very well
    Having Ss go to lectures at the university was good
    TED talks for listening were productive

    We should continue with INFORMAL quizzes to make sure Ss have understood what was
    taught
