The "activities", this word which I like so  much,but my teachers at my schools do not like at all . I like it as it is the best way to make the student/participant involved in a funny ,interesting way . the time in which the lesson is sometimes turned to a workshop .Other  times to  thinking ,movement ,drawing, coloring.In this way Dr. Joy started the last session with a very simple ,but funny activity when she asked us to move to the center and tell the word or image come to our minds when we hear the word "writing ". Also when she asked us to think of a definition of" writing" individually then to form one final definition as a group..In this way she applied the process of "revision" in post writing strategies. I greatly like her activities and her way of applying them in class .During the next part of the session I expect Dr Joy to ask us to apply the strategies of writing -as she did in" reading "-,but she didn't,I don't know why ,specially that it was the only session for writing .I think"  Writing " is too large to be taught in one session.I think it needs more practice and more activities . 

     Again with critical thinking activities that make us think deeper and refresh our minds .Quickly we reached the mid -Semester with Dr.joy .Good times always runs fast ,but we still have six sessions. I enjoyed the past sessions so much in which we all feel comfortable and got much practical experience in teaching in general and teaching reading in particular, also how to move smoothly from one activity to another,how to fill every minute of the class with effective thing ,how to group and regroup the students to have different experience and relationships and be familiar in dealing with any person .I liked the evaluation of the semester and the instructor of the American university ,but what I liked more is the mid-Semester self assessment which remind me of what I already achieved and finished and what I'm still responsible for doing in time. I'm still worried about the project as  I lack this skill I need to read about project based learning and make steps to prepare for my work not to be late .  

      I have previously read about how to teach reading and also attended trainings talk about reading .Moreover, I trained a lot of teachers on the same topic of reading .But this time I think it was different with much more strategies and activities 

           Again I was fascinated with Dr joy method .her smooth way in transmitting from one idea to another ,from one activity to another .Another thing made me surprised and at the same time happy .Surprised when Dr Joy asked us "what does inquisitiveness taste?How taste,I can say what it looks or sound or feel ,but taste it is new for me ,so I was happy because it is obvious that Dr Joy insists to make us think out of the box ,to give us every chance to be different ,to see things that others can't see and to really  taste the meaning of inquisitiveness ourselves to make our students and teachers taste it as well .
           Also I liked the idea of the project although I"m afraid it will need much time and much research and a lot of other interviews with various types of students boys and girls ,but I ask God to bless our time to achieve our assignment on time .
