  Unit 3 reflection:
  "  This Unit was so exciting and so challenging for me.  You may ask Why? I can answer to your question.
 First it was so challenging  I could not find free time to sit and  to do my assignments  due to overloaded  weeks  due to 10th anniversary of our school.  There was  so big preparation : decoration, banners, preparation open door lessons... so on.  I was so busy .  There were quests  from  different Embassy  in Kyrgyzstan: German, French, American , and also members of AKDN organization.  One of the exciting moment for us  Princess Zahra ( The Aga Khan's daughter's) visit to school and to my open door lesson where I   planned to teach  through using video  about planning to travel " Long weekend" where I used  speaking activities.  First I request students  to talk about their last weekend ; introduced new words from Video; watched first episode and  discussed the meaning through doing while watching tasks . During post watching video  requested students  to  develop  plan  for spending their weekend trip and  act it out. For example, imagine you are going to travel to.....  what do you take with you? Who  will go with?  Where are you going to travel?  Students  have world map and they label where to go.By the end studnets shared  their role playes  and got feedback from guests, from me and from their peers.  It was so exciting when my Grade 7 students showed their knowledge on English. They were so confident in speaking in fornt of guests.
 Secondly this unit was so exciting and engaging. We opened our delicious site where  we can bookmark  our sites. It is so helpful because  we can open it  from different computers and from different place. I found so useful and helpful  task when we reviewed  Last Projects. It gave us  f ruit for thought  to improve my final project . I opened  Nicenet class to my  Grade 11  students and shared  wirh them and requested to join. I will send URL when I will addd their my tasks.  Readings were also so interesting  and gave ideas how to use  web oral/aural activities from internet web sites. For example,  BBC UK news programs,    English language worksheets, pronounciation activities and etc.
 So , I learned  from Unit 3 to plan  time for the study ahead,   to use delicipous  and giigo bookmakers, opened to my studnets nicenet class, analysed last projects for getting guidence to our  future  projects.
   Thank you  for the challenging and engaging  tasks.
Good luck for our for all  during Unit 4!
