Plan,plan,plan

It's so obvious that Dr joy is very persistent on teaching us the APA style of writing our summaries and reflections, so she prepared a well structured lesson plan, she wanted to show us the right order of the reference, surname, first letter of the initial name, year of publishing, then the name of the book. then when we take the first chart sheet concerning the reference of the book, the journal, and                 the chapter of the book, there was a lot of wondering during the activity what are we doing and what's for but when I started to remember the last session to write my reflection , I found myself remembering the plan she made to drag us in the APA trap, so all of us returned our home remembering  most of the steps of writing the reference and if we needed any help we could revise the sheet of referencing she already provided us with.I'd like to engage my student in an activity they could remember with the steps of answering their problems in math. planning well to our lesson is very important to get excellent results.
The second assignment during the second part of the session was interesting to describe how our community at our  school looks like,  Dr Joy was pretty astonished from our description specially to our profitable schools , I'm looking forward to know her impression and feedback about the differences between our schools in Egypt and the rest of the countries.

  4. Great to know that the exercise was useful to you Marwa! Sometimes we need to break down tasks and explore how we can help students remember. APA ( or any referencing style in general) is one of those things that will never go away as you continue on your academic journey. When you are collecting your masters degrees, you will remember this simple lesson. All the best!
