ISIK - REFLECTION 4 (9/11/12)

Today we had the same discussion activity with other class and it worked with this class as well. They were good at expressing their ideas. What's more the two opposite groups were be able to reached the common point in the end. We did listening and speaking for almost three hours. Then we talked about the 'for and against essay' and they were in great attention as i told them that they are going to write this kind of essay and it is probable to be asked to write such kind of essay in the exam. Unfortunately all the students show tendency to give more emphasis on the subject if they are told that the subject is important for the portfolio or the exam. The thing that I didn't like was about the quiz. Actually it was not today's problem. Today, they had the ninth quiz and they were still in panic like the time they had the first quiz. They lost all their attention to the topic and just skimmed the pages to get something in a few minutes. I am not okey with this situation but I don't know what to do, either.
