Week#1 Assignment

Week#1 Assignment:
Write a short blog post (about 1 paragraph) about our Week#1 'acquaintance jigsaw' TLS activity. What did you think as a participant?  How could you adapt the structure of this activity to your teaching context?

I realized that the jigsaw activity is a very good way to make learners participate in class. There is information that must be shared, and this forces students to speak and listen. Especially this acquaintance jigsaw has good points. Through the activity, participants not only speak in English to each other, but also get to know each other. When we try this activity in our classes, I think it is also a good idea to let our students make questions that they want to ask before they start this activities. That questions might be easier for the students and more interesting.
