"Learning how to learn is life's most important skill"

Tony Buzan

Teachers evaluating students mind-maps to choose the winner according to the criteria mentioned above. The results will be announced Sunday of next week. Each mind-map was checked and evaluated by all teachers. Next week we will post the winning mind-map. The forms that were designed by Mr. Oybek helped us focus on the main objective behind the whole contest.

We want students to use mind-maps to learn English and to help them learn practical skills to continue learning. Mind-maps are not hard to learn, but we need to implement them every week, if we want it to become a learning habit.

Continent/Country Factsheet posters

Country factsheet project / Objective 3 from Unit 11 of Blue Book

Students have been working on a project about a country of their choosing since the beginning of the week. They were put into groups of three, choosing a continent for their own group. They then chose a country each to find information about. Once their research was completed, they produced an A3 factsheet poster showing the details of their findings. They will present the poster and use Google Earth as a visual aid in their discussions to the class.

info map project

In the previous two weeks the students worked in groups to learn geography around the world outside of the Middle East. In conjunction with a brainstorm mindmap, the students also made an information map to aid in visual communication of presenting what they found out about another country that was interesting in wanting to visit and about the country's natural surroundings.
