When you want to prepare content for your course, if you do not have an idea in mind or do not have much time, you look for a site that will help you. Lumi is one of them. Me and my friends created a material for an online class. In thıs material there is a story about a bakery and students are expected to choose an option to complete the story. Here you can find couple screenshots of our material.
When we finished half of the semester, it was time to create a lesson plan and present it to our teacher. We tried to keep our content rich as much as we could, and the most fun and laughable part of this recording was that one of our friends was playing the role of a teacher, while the others were playing the role of middle school students. Even though I'm acting and it's not easy to find middle school students who are as good as me and my friends anymore, it's still nice to dream about it...
Here is a screenshot of the material we used with my friends. I didn't want to show ym friends' faces but we were on the top right and was acting like a student. (: In this material the students were excepted to create sentences using 'should' or 'should not'.
This week, we both presented the material we organized in our previous assignment. Also, for the first time in my education life, I encountered another material prepared by a teacher. As you can tell from the title, this material was a paper called Lesson Bingo. Our teacher asked us to check the 100 words related to the course content in boxes and tick them when we heard that he used any of them. Although this allowed us to listen more carefully from our teacher's point of view, after a while when the words I marked repeated and I was listening to my teacher more ambitious in order to mark more words, as if there was such an opportunity.
The homework we did after our lesson this week was adapting a material to an online lesson. For this assignment, I formed a group of 4 with my classmates and we searched for some materials. At the end of the day, we decided that Canva is a good material we can use to do reading activities in an online lesson. We thought that we could use Canva, which is widely used in this regard, for a teacher who wants to teach a reading lesson, where teachers and students can make presentations by recording themselves. We thought that the teacher's recording himself while reading the selected text and having the text next to the presentation would encourage students to participate in the lesson.
