Eid greetings from Egypt,
It's been a very busy week for me: school exams, paper correction, Eid chores, and course challenging tasks. Though I was not feeling well, I didn't want to be missed out. I kept on reading the materials provided on the website and my colleagues wonderful posts.
It's been food for thought. Thanks Robert for the "several multi - skill websites" I worked on this week. I found what appeals to me and to my students as well. Certainly, the needs' analysis is the first step to work out a problem. My students are improving a little bit in listening and speaking. It's one step forward. Encouraging and praising do wonders and raise their motivation. And as it is said "students don't care what you know until they know that you care". I'm working on scaffolding their writing through technology activities that serve the objectives, suit students' levels, the time of class and work best in my context.
Creating a Google Doc. for my lesson plan was a first-hand experience. I'm used to doing others' Google Docs. surveys and questionnaires, but from now on, I can use the tool to facilitate my work. I've tried the two ways Robert suggested to create my Google Doc., but there was a problem uploading my lesson plan template. I thanked God that Robert was ready to help with Plan B. My lesson plan took a lot of time to finish because the format is different from what I'm used to doing when preparing my lessons. I could manage to share the link in NiceNet. According to Shakespeare: "All is well that ends well". Waiting for all your precious suggestions.
I'd like to share with you the how to prepare and deliver lessons mind map.
Enjoy,
Safaa
