Entry: 11


Date: unknown

This is in fact the biggest challenge I ever encounter this semester (next after 15 pages SLA term paper), to look at the envelope alone totally put my mind to the worst speculation. It’s like a quest but not in a cute and fun way, more to a serious series of work to be handed in every week. For a week, my partner and I just put the envelope on the side of the table, looking at it every once in a while when we passed by the table but not even once we had the courage to open it. It’s just nice to wait for the drama on Monday, at class hour.

In the envelope we have three forms to be completed by the group leader which is me, and obviously the two of us worked harder than the others because there just two of us. No, not complaining…

Anyway, the process of writing the lesson plan is not as tricky as to decide what to teach, what level, how to teach and so forth. We had our argument, of course because we both have different opinion on how the lesson plan should be and the fact that there are only two of us, made it harder to decide as there is no third person to put weight on which decision. Brainstorming, selecting, filtering and proofreading put us in many situations where there are the needs of tolerating one another’s suggestion and funny how we ended choosing the other’s decision instead of our own in the end.

We slept at 5 a.m that night to make sure there is nothing wrong with the lesson plan. Hopefully it came out better than expected J
