My week started with all pleasant things. I was happy to open the week 5 content as there were rubrics and the extra work as well. I'm bit familiar with rubrics as I had done it few times before. I love this new way of evaluating the students. All these alternative assessments keep the students relaxed in their studies. If not almost all of them get stressed due to the semester end assessment which determines the entire future of the learner. It was a thing I deadened once as a student. Also by having assessed many skills separately, we as teachers get to know about our students' capabilities well. Therefore, this system works well with languages too.
I am familiar with Problem Based Learning, which is quite the same. It does wonders on students and they never understand that they are learning the language. Also, this task improves learner's thinking line and decision making skills. According to my experience with these young learners, they love to face challenges and achieve things out of the hard way.
Webquest is the ideal tool which stressed me out this time. It gave me enormous trouble as I was struggling with a poor Internet connection due to heavy downpours. I never waited this long to complete my work, but things are getting delayed due to some reason.
With all these obstacles coming to put me down, I never gave up. I read all the material provided, digested what I need for the week's task (Because, I believe there's more attentive reading to be done on these subject areas) and ended up doing well. I'm happy about it and looking forward to week 6!
