Week 6 - ULBS Part 2 & Feedbacks

So today was the second day of me judging the kids' ULBS. 

2E was awesome! We didn't manage to get everybody to present, mainly due to the kids (audiences) asking too many questions. It was like a debate. I had to remind some of the boys to, "calm down" when one of the girls got a bit out of hand with the questioning. But, I guess it's a nice change to see a girl doing the talking. 

Though one group didn't manage to present theirs today. Apparently their mahjong paper was stolen! True story,...so they had to re-do the whole thing. 

And the highlight for 2E's presentation was this! 

Behold the prototype of a handphone/camera/iron (???) from ZAS technology!!!! 

Seriously, they made a prototype of their presentation subject just for the sake of this oral test (which took them only about 10 minutes to perform). And they gave me the prototype as, "a souvenir".

(^__________^')

And remember 2B? The two boys that didn't do their presentation the day before?

They were first up today and, boy were they ready! And to my utmost surprise, they were really good!

They spoke well, they were able to FACE the audience, they were able to answer questions rationally and fluently (though thickly accented) - so it was all good. 

The girls who presented last weren't bad either. One of the girls seemed really reluctant to speak. But I've noticed that about the girl for a while. She's okay when she spoke to me individually, but I guess having to stand in front of everybody was a bit out of her comfort-zone. Nothing I can do about that. At least, she spoke.

 And after they finished their (2B) presentation, I told them that I won't be having them continuously  for the next coming weeks as I have other classes I have to focus on. So, before I get to their classes again, I wanted them to comment on my teaching. I told them that I'm still in practice, so I've a lot to improve on, so I asked them to be totally honest.

They need not to write their names. But some of the kids did anyways...

I guess since they're still young, they're not so critical of my teaching yet. A lot of the comments were very positive (and I think some of them misunderstood me and thought I was leaving them for good). The most negative comment would be, "smile every time" or "your face looks angry" which I find to be very cute.

Below is a sample comment that really gave an impact to me.

"you can make me to be confident while talk in front" and "you make me like English subject"

I almost cried when I read this :')

but check out the "BAD COMMENT" TOO

HAHAHHAHAHA
