We discussed the week's readings in class. Chris and Veronika gave their oral presentation. They used Powerpoint slides to explain many different types of methods and approaches mentioned in the reading. Not only that, but they also engaged the class in a discussion about the pros and cons of learning from a native or non-native speaker, and got the class thinking.
We later got into teams and sorted out pieces of paper to match a teaching method with its definition. I found this very interesting because the date (1800, 1970, etc.) of the method was given, and I liked being able to see the changes in ideas over time. I liked having the information spread out in front of me like that. We then discussed as a class what went where to make sure everyone had the same answer.
Later on, in the library, we had fun setting up our blogs and coming up with topics for the multi-genre research paper.

I would love to read more about WHAT YOU THOUGHT about what happened in class!
What you thought and how they might apply to your own professional life.
I like what you said about the theories and methods and how they changed over time. I thought that was interesting also. I agree that seeing the theories and methods in a different format help me solidify the information. I thought that was a great activity.
What are your feelings on Powerpoint? I'm not a big Powerpoint guy at all but I can see how some people like it.
