PBL-rubrics-project step-wedding :)

Week 5 provided me with new information about PBL and webquests. I have never done a webquest, and still feel that I need more time to develop and use one. I know that it would be an important step and my students would like it. However, in the lesson I prefer to have tasks where Ss can communicate with each other and can interact and exchange views about certain topics. So I can imagine a webquest as homework.

Rubrics are really important and I apply them when giving my Ss writing assignments. When we are preparing for an exam, I always let them know the rubrics of that particular exam. Where I should apply it more is speaking activities, oral tests. That is why I wrote rubrics for an oral task that I regularly have in my groups. I need to simplify its language because I have decided to give out a sheet to 2 or 3 Ss and they should evaluate their group mate’s oral summary in parallel with me. I think it would build a sense of consciousness, criticism and responsibility. They would also become able to accept criticism from each other, which can be a great asset later in their life.

I have started pondering about my project. Now it’s holiday at school but I’m going to take action next week. I’m planning to combine things that I have learnt or read about in this course.

Finally, something  personal. I had my wedding on the 5 February. Of course, this has been the highlight of the week!!!!
