First of all , we write our names on a paper and we stick on the wall.People say my name and ask me questions to get me know well and also we go around and find names and ask questions other firends.We keep going on and asking them until time is up.This a warm-up activity to know each other.I can use it in my classes to grab my students’ attention but I have some changes about this activity. I will minimize questions and tell them work in groups because of the shouting and it is difficultt to use that activity in crowded class because of the time. We made a helicopter that was fun for me . We can adapt this activity for many units so that students loves doing interesting things.We can give them instructions and they do.For example, They draw animals whatever they like and they show them to other students to guess what their names are. They share their ideas and involve in comminucation. We had jigsaw reading .Each group had different Reading activity. Firstly, we read it and we discussed it among each other what we understood.we come together from different groups and every person told what they had idea about their reading activity and we  took some notes about them. We just shared and engaged it. We did questionnaire activity. We read statements and we write one of them “agree/Disagree/Unsure “.We go outside make two circles like” in and out “.
The outer circle move in each of two questions.They share their opinions and listen to their friends’ ideas. It is kind of reflection because you see and catch them that you miss when you friend tells it. We have 4 visuals on the wall. Everybody choose one picture that is a link between teaching and learning. Most of us choose bike picture that he teaches a girl how to ride a bike and another picture is about watering a plant. To me, there are smiliar in some ways because Teacher guides,supports and helps students how to do and what to do and students can find their way. Teacher teaches and students learns it and also they can learn from each other.We are expected to adapt them in our classes but the education system is not going like that. We are expected to do them but we just give information students so they just get input not output because of the exam system. These tell us our country education system.

Yes ,it is.we went out and made a circle and Davud Teacher gave us information about warm-up activity how to do. One of us was in circle and said something and if we were on the same page, we would find a spot quickly but if we did not have the same thoughts ,we would not move .This activity is a warm -up that grabbed our attention and motivated us for the rest of the day.I think that gallery wall is can be an example of Engage and share because we wrote a problem about students’ speaking and then we wrote 2 solutions as a group after that we stick on the wall. Each group goes around and add 2 solutions and moves another one after they write their solutions. We just share our ideas and try to solve the problems of students ‘ speaking. Simon gave us a dialogue without written form. There were two names (Tülay and deniz ) and he draw a dog. He used his gestures and used the picture of the dog. He told us and we repeated and he said it again after that, the whole class repeated again and again and asked us as a group. and asked indivually. We answered as a group and indiviually.he also used finger highlighting and backchain that were useful for the meaning. We also make a dialogue by drawing picture and ask question about it, we worked in pairs and one of us asked question and another answered it and then Roles were changed. We think ,share our ideas and When we listen to each other, it is kind of reflection that they became mirrors to us for the missing parts that we did not get it.I will not change but I will add more something that they can love. For instance, I am going to use finger highlighting and backchain because students want to see new something that I donot show them before. I can grab their attention by using these techniques.

When I came here , I said that I knew everthing but I find out that I sometimes  force my students to attend class.I learn to be kind to my students  and do not be hard on themselves.I sometimes let it go because they can be afraid of me or do not want to speak. I have to accept that they are young learners and can make mistakes and do not make them correct immadiately.I should be patient and give them time to speak whenever they are ready.I can change the activity that I always do in my class which is speaking in front of the class.They can speak as a group or speak work in pairs. I change my mind slowly and I have to.

Yes, To me, storytelling can be fruitful for students in primary school because it can be interesting and fun for students. They love drawings and big pictures on the book and story book includes short sentences and pictures that make students curious about the rest of the story.They can imitate or choose one character to do role pla and also they can make predictions about the story .They love these parts.

My answer for the second question can be storytelling. I did not use it before because I thought that it could take my time and I could not finish it on the time and also I thought that it could be boring for young learners but today we do that and it works for even us.we made a circle and Teacher read the story by changing his place to keep us focus on the story and ask some questions to make us to involve in lesson was great. I can use storytelling for my classess and I can add songs,videos and use flashcards and make them draw picture or make handcrafts for pre-reading.I can add matching sentences with pictures and also create a mini story book for the other parts of the reading.

1- I can use an activity which is called completes the lines about themselves. They write something about their feelings,fears,traits etc.They do not write their names on it and stick on the wall after that other people come to read and guess and write who it is. It sounds fun because it is about them .They can be interested in this activity or I can use an acronmy activity.You will write personal traits of your pair by using letters of his/her name.Maybe,They can work as a group by playing Bus stop game.These can create a relaxed atmosphere.I can use settler activities ( arts and crafts ,wordplay activities Bus stop activities etc) and also I can stirring activities (songs,chants,word circle games,act it out,TPR and Role play etc).I can manage my PDC by using these activities .

2-it can be timing. I have to use time efficiently.That’s why I have to be well-prepared for my PDC.I have to choose and prepare my activities according to pre,while and post.Some older Teacher can attend my pdc and they cannot be willing to be active for that. I can choose tasks according to their interests or adapt them.They can work in pairs or in groups.I can use think  pair and share. They can be pilots or co-pilots to share the task with others.I will keep them active as much as possible.

1-Yes,it has changed.I do not use some of the techniques that we learn today. I will use of them to check for understsnding and summaring their learning.For instance;

A-3,2,1 Technique
I can use this at the end the of the activity as reflection.
They work in individually ,in pairs or in groups.They can write what they learn on post it notes and stick on the wall that I gave them before. I will use this technique to Encourage students and identify problems about their learning and teach them again if it is necessary.
B-Multiple choice cards Technique

I can use this a closing activity like a Stirrer activity to keep students engaged when they are bored or tired or to check students that they learn or not .I will have different coloured cards and different letters on them.Each of my students will have a set of cards.When I ask them a question and also they see the question on the board.All of them should hold up their card at the same time.
C-Thumbs up and thumbs down

I can use this one because it can be interesting for my students.I can use it at the end of an activity to check their understanding.I ask the question to them, they will use their hand as a signal for their answers.

D-Traffic lights

I did not use that Technique before but I will apply it to encourage my students to reflect on their learning and I want to see how confident they feel about the unit.I will use it at the end of the unit.I will give each student three Small circles ;1 yellow,1 red,1 green.They will hold up when I ask them if they understand the unit or not and ask their feelings.
D-Success criteria
I am not sure that I can use Technique in my class because my students may not be interested in or may not want to that.It is not like a game.

2- The greatest benefit is to be with different English teachers from different regions of Türkiye.That means that you share your problems what you face and you try to think and solve the problems.We help each other with being together during PDC.

3-I can use some documents and links that our teachers share them with us on whatsapp.When I start my pdc plan ,I check a sample that he send it to us and also I check it in my training book.We recreated many tasks and adapt them.I took a picture of them.I can check them .It gives me an idea.I can ask my teachers or my friend if I need help.

4- If I have some problems with Principals.They can be unwilling to let me go or they do not have enough information about PDC.I can prepare an info pack and present what is it ? Why do I do that? And give them information about PDC.I can have some problems with participants that they do not know the location or how to go the meeting area.We can create a whatsapp group and let them informed about time,place etc.They may not be willing to be there but If I can have a good relationship with them,They will want to attend it.For instance ,

-I call them by their names
-Greet them outside before the start of the day
-Listen to them and hear their concerns
-Contact them about meeting as much as possible.

During PDC meetings,They may talk too much or use mobile phones.I will  be assertive.I will give them choices .Do you want to put your phone in the box or in the bag? Or when they want to talk too much, I can clap my hands and say class ,class and they will say Yes ,Yes and then I go on .I will not make eye contact and just say Thank you etc.I will not be a lecturer but I will be a conductor.I will tell them work in pairs or work in groups .For example,I will use 4 corners,Write some questions about they will be interested in .They will choose their corners and share their ideas with each other.They can be willing to attend the PDC meeting.
