Wiki Project!

a Wiki website

This week, we were supposed to prepare a wiki page including the information about our favourite books. We wrote about the author, a short summary of plot and characters and we added critiques, motivating questions etc. Finally we rated  the book on a 5 star scale and gave the reason why we recommend the book to others. I choose 'A Prisoner of Birth' by Jeffrey Archer. It was another experience for us and I think Wiki can be used easily in EFL classrooms. It is really advantageous for time-saving and making students realize each other's mistakes and correct them. Lots of creative projects can be carried out via Wiki. In case you have to work with crowded classes, keep Wiki in your mind! :)

This is the page that I created about my favourite book, click here.

The Twilight Chaos

This week we were supposed to prepare podcasts, and we had 3 different options; record a chant, a myth or a sound rich story with our own voices and we were asked to study in pairs. Inthis project, one of my classmates, Eren Yasemen Karahan and I worked together. We created the story and started to record it. Before trying to record it, in fact, we did not realize that it would be that much difficult to do. There were different characters with different genders and we were two females, that's why it was harder than we thought. Also ve had to record it many many times till we were satisfied with our performance. However; we shared the dialogues and finally could record it. I have to confess that we really had fun during this process. Here the story is, enjoy!
