Learning Journal 6

Today we did some interesting things. The lesson started with some noise: my classmates were discussing the strikes that have been happening lately! Very good topic, I think, but not the best moment to discuss that. Some expressed theirselves, some didn't, but we will have the opportunity to debate that another day and I hope so. Then we did the Group Work Assessment. I actually didn't understand that we were supposed to deliver it last lesson, so we were one of the groups that didn't do it at the time. But we did it today and now we are curiously waiting for the teacher's assessment. Then we had some time to do some excercises about Reported Speech. My group didn't work very well today, we were always talking. I don't feel able to shut up the girls, sometimes I say things like : "come on, let's do it". But the conversation continues and I love talking, so I let myself go and I don't do the exercises. I need to avoid those situations. We corrected the worksheet and then we read an extract of the novel Things Fall Apart by Chinua Abebe which I found a little bit difficult, honestly. But I liked it.
