WORKSHOP III
This activity resulted pretty well. They worked better than expected, they did not shout and respect their turns. The students could come up with words quickly, probably because we have chosen topics we dealt with in the previous lessons. They even told words which were not from the unit. We used this activity as warm-up to activate their schemata. The majority of the students were paying attention and listening so as not to repeat words. Often, the ones who repeat words were the troublesome that were not listening and as a way of “punishment” they had to report a sentence, which they did pretty well. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant. It took more time than planned, but it was worthy because they activated their schemata to complete the following activity- it was useful.
