Welcome back ladies and gentlemens, boys and girls to my blog and I'm back again to recap on what happened in the last few weeks. Although term two just started, a lot of things have happened and new face can be seen.
As I previously mentioned, Kirani, a 15-year-old student from Indonesia, is our new classmate. Miss bestowed Kirani the magic pen to begin the week. Interestingly, our warm-up game that day was Squardle, and I already knew that she would struggle because of Janek. As she struggled to figure out how to use the smart board, words began to come in, and as a result, Janek was nearly permanently banned from ever playing Squardle again.I guess luck wasn't on her side because it was one of our longest squardle game and she had to through the whole period of Janek just shouting random words.
The following day, our aep lesson resumed as usual, but before anything else, warm-up activities are essential. I sensed something was off when I walked into the classroom since Squardle was closed. She then opened a warm-up activity that I had never seen before, but it seemed like it was something the older students played. The game took me a heated minute to figure out, but as soon as I did, it was over. The warm-up game was quite brief and unsatisfactory. I personally don't love playing this game because it wasn't very entertaining.Afterwards, we proceed with lessons.
After a long time, we are finally doing a lesson on process diagrams.If i am not mistaken , process diagrams are step by step describing what is happening in the diagrams.In our case , our diagram was about a man-made structure that is used to generate electricity from wave power.The first step that miss told us to do was to list down the process and the words that we are going to use in the essay. By listing, it allows us to save more time because what we need to do is just to create sentences with the word we listed.Upone writing the essay, I was surprised at how manageable this is because I was able to finish it in one period which is rare every time I write an essay.
On the following week , we started of the class with Contexto requested by Emily 😒.Its been a while since we last play Contexto and it felt a little odd playing it because I am used to playing Squardle .The guess that was closed to the word was dream , place and sleep. We tried our to best to list out anything the relates to these 3 words but at the end , after numerous guesses and 3 hints , we were finally able to guess the word which was mind. Following that , we continue with writing the essay about the same diagram as before and I can definitely say that i improved not only from the word choices but also how i describe the process .With the spare time we played Quardle and with Janek guessing , we were able to completer 3 games of Quardle in under 10 minutes.
Thanks for a brilliant and detailed blog.i too found typeshift very unsatisfactory....it used to be better...
