657 DB #3 _ in Module 5
Discuss a situation where an activity or game has helped you learn a concept.
Hello everyone, I grew up in Uzbekistan, and schools in this country are very different from those in the United States. We only had a few games or playful activities to learn from during the lesson. I will always remember my first teacher in Russian and Literature. Her classes are always creative. I begin to have these lessons in 5 th grade. We are always starting our lesson with riddles and from favorite poems.For example, she h
small tiny books or puzzles with verbs and, sentences, and we play like puzzles. She had a box where she kept our favorite books, objects, and little fakes, and we played a game like give a sentence in the present, the past or the future for 10 seconds. And we laughed with excitement and joy, and she shouted when she does not stop us. These were happy lessons for your class.She especially liked coming from summer holidays, telling what books she had read, and sharing emotions with my classmates and teacher. She was my teacher until 11 grade.She used many other games and activities that helped me learn English. I will always remember that time with warmth in my heart
