Today was an exhausting day,actually i like wednesdays maybe it's come to me like that because of my illness. That's why I want to share my notes and keep some things in my mind by facing it here again and again.I understand that we try to cover a lot of things in order to take the advantage of block lessons. We had talked about the format of the seminar presentations on monday,after a quick review of that we've learned about summary types of a story which should be partially provided/ partially elicited. There are 3 of them: 1.Gap fill 2.Line by line 3.Elicit,then show. I would like to use first one because i think that would keep the audience awake&curious.If i would use the line by line one, i would create a small game out of it, by numerizing the sentences and put them in a wrong order.
After that we learned the criteria for good questions: It should be:
-general enough for everyone to answer
-based on personal experience
-cultural context
-to what extend..?
Again an important thing to memorize for seminar presentations: the sub-themes should be enough apart from each other but also not too general, because you have to analyse each point one by one and the intersections may cause problems in terms of making a good structure.
Our team: the greens (yes we love nature!), will present a short story by William Faulkner called "A Rose for Emily" on 31st of March.
May the force be with us!
