Many activities for this semester

Yes, we have our class to attend to.
Teach with interest in what they (our students) are learning.
Self observe us in order to learn from our own teaching.

And then Action Research: check the entry in this blog again.

So far Sofi, 'Something about Motivation and Writing'?

Name your projects, first step to clarify the Research, give it a subtitle to clarify the Action.

Remember to be very conscious of what you presented, how were the activities received by the students; would you change anything?
What are your weaknesses, and very important what are your strenghts?

Basic Ideas About Planning a Class Session

OBSERVING A CLASS WITH A PURPOSE

After observing the classes, comment on the use of a specific format.
Was it easier than the last time?
Were all the elements you wanted to observe reflected in the format?
Did it work like a check list or did you have to write a lot? Which do you prefer?

Comments must be send in by Monday the latest.
Have a great weekend !!!!!!!!!!

Observing a class.

What kind of information does an observer have to know in order to report what's happening in a class.?

Look for another image to convey this idea and upload it in your reply.
