Hi everyone, In today's lesson we had our first group of discussions. Before we started our discussions, we went through the steps for leading a discussion. Please bring this worksheet to every class, especially if you are a discussion leader. Discussion Feedback:
Today, there were 7 students who did not come to class. If you are not a discussion leader, and you miss class without a good reason, you will lose points from your own discussion. Please attend class so that there are enough group members for discussions. Homework: 1. Discussion Preparation 2. Blog Post #3 Blog Question #3: FOR GROUP MEMBERS: Give yourself a score out of ten for your participation in today's group discussions. Why do you think you deserve this score? Give reasons and/or examples to support your answer. Example: In today's class, I would give myself a score of 8/10 for my participation. First of all, I asked my group leader when I didn't understand vocabulary. For example, I asked the group leader to tell me the meaning of "gun control" and "amendment." Second, I gave examples about Japan's gun control in the discussion. However, I didn't always make eye contact with all my group members, so this is something I need to improve next week. FOR GROUP LEADERS: Give yourself a score out of ten for your performance as a group leader. Why do you think you deserve this score? Give reasons and/or examples to support your answer. Example: In today's class, I was the group leader. I would give myself a score of 8.5/10 for my performance. First of all, I checked my group's understanding about 4 times during my summary. Also, I encouraged all my group members to participate. I asked them directly for their opinions and asked them to make comments the opinions of other group members. However, I forgot to do a pronunciation practice for my vocabulary, so I need to do this for my next discussion.

In today's class, I would give myself a score of 7/10 for my participation. First of all, I made an effort to make an eye contact with the group leader. I think this is one of the good way to understand leader's speech. So, I could be concentrating on listeing leader's speech, too. Second, I couldn't gesture very much. Of course, leader should gesture to understand his speech. But, I couldn't tell my opinion well. So, I need to gesture. I will make an eye contact all of members and make a lot of gestures when I am a leader.

I would give myself a score of 7/10 for my participation. I have good and bad points about my performance. When we were doing first discussion, I didn't tell my group members my opinion about my group leader's topic a lot. Because I regretted that I couldn't do my ideal participation, when we were doing second and third discussion, I tried to tell them my opinion more active. And I could answer the meaning of vocabulary assertive. Because I'm not good at speaking English with other people, it is difficult for me to speak smoothly without thinking slowly and carefully in discussion. So I want to develop my speaking skill through this discussion project. In the next class, I'm to be a group leader. So I would like to tell my group members my opinion clearly.

In today's class, I was the groupe leader. I would give myself a score of 7/10 for my performance. First, I explained the summary of the article. I think I can tell my groupe members simply. Also, I put the gestures to good use. When I explained about a cavity, I opened my mouth wide and I acted as if I have a pain. However, I should have prepared more opinions and questions, so I subtract 3 points. In the next class, I would like to try to speak actively!

I would give myself a score of 6/10 for my participation. I tried to understand group leader's speech. I asked about what I couldn't understand too. I think these two points are good. However, I couldn't make good eye contact. In addition, I couldn't insist on my opinion. I think these two points are bad. So I tried to make better eye contact and insist on my opinion next week.

I am learning what a good discussion is. I think the most important thing for a lively discussion is to listen to the discussion leader. Then we carefully think about the topics. Once we need to express our opinions, we shouldn’t be shy or hesitate to speak out. The body language including eye contact is necessary. In the last class I was a discussion member. I think my attitude to the last discussion was excellent. I would give myself a score of 10/10 for my participation. In the next class I will be a discussion leader. I would like to lead our group discussion to a good one.

In today's class, I would give myself a score of 4/10 for my participation. First of all, I could hardly keep up with presentation of group leaders because I'm not good at listening and following English sentences. For that reason, I want to improve my listening comprehension. Second, I could not give my opinion well because I could not remember words immediately. For example, I could not remember the word "repair" and asked the group members to tell me the word. I was ashamed of forgetting meaning of words. I want to memorize a lot of meaning of words. And, I wish to have good discussions.

In the third class, I give myself a score of 6/10. First, I couldn't understand contents that group leader talked perfectly. I guess it is because I am not used to listening English everyday life. Second, When I was asked question, I was not able to answer immediately. So, I try to think question and my opinion while group leader is taiking. Third, I made eye contact with my group members a little and I could't talk using gestures. I should use them in order to understand my opinion easily. So, I need to improve them next week.

In today's class, I was the group leader. I would give mayself a score of 7,5/10 for my performance. I checked my group's understanding abou 4 times. In addition, I made an effort so that convey content. I asked them directly for their opinions. However, it was so difficult. The time of discussion is very short. I was not able to use the body language. I want to do the thing that I cannot do today next time.

In today's class, I give myself a score of 6/10 for my participation. First, I couldn't understand what group leader said perfectly. However, I could understand about it, I felt regret that I have it which I couldn't understand part. Second I couldn't express things which I think about it in English. Though I had many things to say for everyone, I couldn't convert Japanese to English. So I have many subjects that I have to get over. I want to speak English. Therfore I tought that i must practice English.

In today's class, I would give myself a score of 6/10 for my participation. There are two reasons. First, I could listen and speak making eye contact with group members. In addition, I tried to listen to speeches while making appropriate responses. I think I tried hard as a listener. Second, I had difficulty in saying my opinions a little. I think I'm not used to saying my opinions in English. When I visited New York city, I couldn't speak well. So, I want to gain experience in this class and improve my skills. Finally, I would like to do fruitful discussions next time making use of these points for improvement.

I absented the last class. So, I can't refer about discussion. Maybe, everyone would exert themself. The next class , I exert myself. I'd like to tell clearly my opinion by discussion. And to hear other person's opinions.

In last week's class, I would give myself a score of 7/10 for my participation. There were 3 good points for me in the discussion. First, I pronounced 5words in a loud voice. Second, I tried to make eye contact with my group readers. Finally, I asked group readers many questions about their articles, which made the discussion active. Leave a Reply. |
