SILENT WAY ACTIVITY

WHAT I LIKED FROM MY PRESENTATION?
What I liked from my presentation was to present something new. This activity is based on the idea to learn grammar rules and new vocabulary. Another thing that I really liked was that the students had to payed attention to the activity because they did not know anything about that, and also because it is kind of strange; however, this activity is a method only used with beginners.

WHAT I COULD HAVE IMPROVED?
I think that I could have improved the explanation of the topic, since at the beginnig the students did not understand the activity , but it was because this activity is confused due the context. And I do not know if the students got bored because they had to repeat the same thing many times.
Also I could have improved the examples of the activity because I could notice that even the teacher get confused, and I did not feel comfortable because of that.

DID YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE?
To be honest, I did not feel comfortable because my activity was very confused, and maybe some students did not understand at all. At the beginning I did not want to present that activity because it was confused for me, too. But at the end I decided to present it because I wanted that everyone learned something new.

WHAT I THINK ABOUT THE ACTIVITIES MY OTHER CLASSMATES PRESENTED?
I think that the activities my other classmates presented were very interesting, since they teached us the repetition, and I think the repetition helps us to memorize new words, and we learn grammar rules. Also when a student makes a mistake with a word, the teacher help him to pronounce it correctly. So, the activities were very interesting for me.

If you still have some doubts of my activity, this is a video that you can watch.
