Post your response below. Did you enjoy the group work today? Why or why not?
The group project work was fun, I had fun and enjoyed how we interacted with our group. I found it entertaining and helpful for all of us. I personally learned various of things, for example how to look for better words online, how to correct my words in Microsoft word, how to edit my paper or other papers, or even how the teachers/professors feel of questioning students or correcting them. it was a good experience and I say that we should do more of these group work presentation because they help all of us. I think that by doing more of these group works we will learn more and be more open in a way that we wont be shy in asking questions.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed it Nathaly, we'll definitely be doing a lot more of this!
DeleteThe class activity we had the last class was very exciting and I also enjoy it as it help me see more who everyone is. It also helped many people get of their comfort zone and express them self. By doing this other would have more trust in them self that they would want to share their experience. I learned that there is a special way to put a header in word which I had no idea! Thanks for sharing your experience and letting me learn something new.I would enjoy having another group project.
ReplyDeleteThis past group activity was interesting. I learned a lot of new things. I learned how to cite an essay and use the thesarus to replace words that are used often. I got to know my classmates a little bit better and got to hear about the callenges they faced when writing an essay. Hopefully, we can continue to do group projects. It not only helps us with our writing but we get to know about each other a little bit more.
ReplyDeleteThe class activity we did was pretty fun. i learned so much on the many ways to revise my essays,how it feels to be a professor,failure towards doing essays and different strategies of revision. It would be really good to keep doing these types of activities to help us better our writing. I got to see that many who didn't talk well opened up more with this group work as to experience and get to know others ideas and techniques to writing and how they feel when writing.
ReplyDeleteThis group activity was very helpful. It made me feel more comfortable with all my classmates. It was exciting being a teacher for once and hearing all the experiences everyone had with writing. It also helped me to know all the estrategies to revise essays. I also learned how to use the dictionary and thesaurus. I am glad you made this activity because it really helped everyone in the class.
ReplyDeleteGreat insight everyone. Still looking for the rest of ya'll to post. Keep those comments coming...
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this project. I believe I comprehended a lot better because not only did we review the material plenty of time but we also got to discus it among ourselves and the class as a presentation.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this project ,because not only did it brake the ice & he us open up .it made me realize that I wasn't the only one having trouble with writing .now that I know my class mates more it won't be an issue for me to ask about stuff I might not have understood in class or readings/ assignments ...etc I look forward to more class interactions lol this one
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy this group project. It made me feel more secure of my self. I quite understand what we were doing better. It also help me get to interact with my fellow classmates and have more confident in asking question, and speak out. I'm looking forward to do more of this projects in the semester.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this group project since it helped me a lot with my stage fright issues. I think I can now write better essays because I feel more confident and I also saw that others have troubles with writing which makes me realize that it’s not such a big dilemma and everything has a solution.
ReplyDeleteThis group project was a lot of fun. It helped a lot of us interact with our fellow classmates and lose our shyness towards one another. I learned so many things with this activity. I think it was helpful to revise each others work so we can get an idea of other ways we can write essays and so we can know where we are doing wrong or right.
ReplyDeleteThe activity helped me with my fear of talking in front of others. I know I didn't talk much, but i think that with this type of activities and practice I will improve. Also I got to know a little more about my classmates, and interact with each other.
ReplyDeleteThe group activity that we had it was fun and helpful
ReplyDeletefor a lot of us. I loved that we had the opportunity to get to know our classmates more.
We learned how to use different methods of revicing and plannig our essays.
I really enjoyed this activity because I got to know a little more about the others, and also because I learn things that could help me to write better in my essays. I think we should have more activities like this one.
ReplyDeleteI didn't mind the group activity at all, hope we do more of it. I enjoy every body going up and talking in front of everyone and facing their fears,well the ones that had fear of it. Hopefully we all get a lot better and more interactive in our groups, that's what i'm looking forward to.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the group work because it was fun and it's helpful for me because I need to practice my English. I hope we keep doing this kind of activities.
