I had a lot of fun in their presentation; in fact I liked their class procedure.
At the beginning, they used some simple questions and images to help us establish basic idea or background of the reading context. But while explaining the meaning of it, it’s too quickly to follow up; and when it comes to some new words, though teacher explained it by simple sentence and supplied some similar words for us, the teacher forgot to state it clearly. For example, we couldn’t figure out the word which told by teacher was “passion” or “patience”.
About the game, I really like it and it’s really fun. As teacher Alice has said, through their game, I learned a new way to control the time, and I believe students would also love it. Moreover, in the process of the game, controlling situation and order is also an important thing; we can’t make the class out of control.
Using a competition to make students read actively is a successful method, especially a group-to-group competition, the peer support, encouragement, and honor actually works a lot in helping students have motivations to read.
