5/17/2015

20 Comments

 
Hi everyone,

What a beautiful day today! I hope you can enjoy the sunshine during your breaks.

Showing Interest:
Before our discussions, we had a short activity on how to show interest during a discussion. We need to show interest to let the speaker know that we are listening to him/her. You can use these expressions:
  1. Fixed Expressions: I see, Ya/Yes, Uh-huh, Mm-mm
  2. Suprise: Oh my God! Really? Wow!
  3. Sympathy: Oh no! What a shame. That's to bad.

Discussions:
For next week's discussions, remember these points:
  1. Follow-up Questions. Whenyour group leader or group member makes a comment. Ask a follow-up question. This question asks the speaker to give more information. 
  2. Eye contact. Remember to make eye contact with each group member when you speak.

Homework:

1.  Discussion Preparation
2.  Blog Post #6

Blog Question #6:

We have finished our first round of discussions. You have received a lot of feedback in our lessons and on your worksheets.

Which three points do you think you have to focus on to improve your next discussion?

  • Write 8-10 sentences.
  • Use capitalization, punctuation & spelling correctly.
  • Submit by Wednesday, May 20 by 6:00pm.
