Today, we focused on reflective thinking, general decription of PDC, aims of PDC and facilitators and tariners.
To me, it was an very active and enjoyful day. I had opinions about aim of that project, where am I of that project and why am I here. I learned that PDC process gives us the opportunity to share olur ideas with olur colleagues, improve confidence, develop our skills and motivation. We used sone technigues such as role play and jigsaw. We used some tools like actionbound and kahoot.
Kahoot was my favourite because we did self assessment thanks to it. We find the opportunity to ask ourselves aboutwhat did we learned and which of them do we remember. I will use Kahoot for my 6th grade students after for example issue of guantifiers in the class.
Also actionbound was very interesting for me because I have very crowded classes at school. I can use it by dividing my classes into groups. It is a very useful tool for group activities.
That's all I want to say. I hope the second day I will experience more things.

Today, we focused on each stage of listening activities such as pre,while and post, active lsitening, differentiation and instructions.
We dealed with very useful activities we can use in my classes or PDC. For example, onion rings avticity may be appropriate for my classes becuse that activity gives the opportunity to being an active listener, using short and simple sentences, changing partner and working in groups. I have very crowded classes and so I can divide my classes into groups by using that activity. And also in that activity, both the speaker and listener are an active listener. Also we can use matching pictures or guessing games in pre listening process.
Also one of the most enjoyful and useful activities is trying to draw a picture about what we hear. We can use it for both in our classes and PDC. It was very useful because we are active listener by both imagining and drawing.
I think Today we have lots of useful activities. By considering the differentiation such as age,level,background knowledge and gender, we can use them in our classes.

Today, we worked on speaking parts (pre,while and post)and speaking activities. We did lots of activities again, today. And I recognized that I should change some of things in my classes and use some new things. As an example, I will mostly use pair works instead of group work, because only my stronger students work in group works and the others prefers being silent. Also I will use some new tools such as kahoot and chattepix. And also I think I am bad at setting the context sometimes. Mostly I am starting by giving instructions only, but I saw setting the context is very important for giving the clues what they will do about what.
Also I will use paper slide and flip application in my classes. For instance, about the unit of yummy breakfast for sixth grades I will ask them to prepare a recipe and they will draw their slides,write a script and they will ve a seller and sell their food and film it by using flip. I will do that activity with pair work not group work. And they will have the chance of self correction and peer correction by the flip application. While they are doing that, I will monitor and write some notes.

As my colleagues said today, reading activities mostly are boringin our classes because our students are not attending the reading process actively or pyhsically. I mean it is static not dynamic process. That's why we have to be very careful about our lesson plan. So I think the most useful idea from today sessions is categorize appropriate activities for each stage of reading lesson plan. We should be sure about almost all the students attend pre, while and post reading process actively.

You did that and I think you want us to share different experiences from all of us. We learn from each other everything in that process such as experience, pronunciation errors, making comment and an activity goes or not in our classes. We have different students, different numbers of students and different schools in different provinces. And we learn different things from each one. You are trying to encourage our speaking skills. Thanks to that we have the chance to speak with different colleagues and that means we have different ideas about speaking.

While we are dealing with writing skill in our classes, I think we should not focus on only writing long texts or long paragraphs. We should give short,simple and clear instructions.For example, in the daily routine unit we can say "Match the times with the activities (given them by the teacher) and try to write a short story concluding about thirty words or five sentences in your groups". However, if we say "write a paragrah about your daily routine, they can not organize their ideas, write first and final draft and give feedback to each other. I mean they will not use process writing but product writing. They write only to write but not to engage all skills. That's why I think the most suitable idea about writing instructions is to give them chance to focus on varied classroom activities about brainstorming, group discussion and re-writing not focus on only writing.

I think we should use mostly implicit grammar but sometimes explicit grammar because students do not have ant idea about English in my area. And so they can not sometimes understand the rules I given. However, I think matching, guessing and CCQ are very useful ideas in today session. By using them we can teach grammar rules in an implicit way. I think implicit way is more appropriate or useful because they try to learn themselves and I think that is very memorable for them. However, in explicit way we will teach, they will listen and learn and forget all the rules in a short time.

I do not use vocabulary notebook but I use vocabulary box my students did in my classes. They write every word on a small piece of paper we learn in the class and put it in the box. Then, we are playing a game about it once a week. I stick the flashcards on wall, only ten students chose a word from the box and stick it under the appropriate flashcards every week because I have 45 and 50 students in my classes. And after we finished the vocabularies of the first unit in the coursebook, we take out them from the box and we put the vocabularies of the second unit in the same way.

I think self/peer assessment could solve some problems, because we have to assess ourselves to progress in our field against problems we face. Thanks to self/peer assessment, we can identify what we do, what do not we do and what must we do. It gives the chance us to plan and give directions better, check the progress. Also we sometimes can not explain ourselves what we need to do that and peer assessment helps us in that situation.

I am planning to use the networks according to our topic. For example, if we want to check How do PDCs apply a skill or activity in their classes, we can ask them to write some key words by using "wordwall". Also they can use "flip", while presenting their opinions or activities.
