Language Usage Checklist for Exhibition-Again

Do you remember when I posted the 'Language Usage Checklist for Exhibition' before? I'm going to post it again, with different checks, of course. It's only few days since then, but I'd like to see my changes? Do you?

Language Usage Checklist for Exhibition

What will discussion sound like in Grade 5?
  • We will use English in our groups UNLESS we need to translate the meaning of a word or phrase that needs clarification or elaboration.
  • Then we will remember to switch back to English once we have clarified or elaborated our ideas.
  • In partners, we will use English.
  • When we are thinking solo we can use either English or Korean/Chinese.
  • In teams, we will use English for all conversation unless we are clarifying the meaning of something.

Look at your goal from last week. Did you accomplish your goal this week? What did you do that helped you accomplish it? or Should you have done to better meet your goal?
Unfortunately, no, because I still use Korean for lot of times than English.
This week I am most proud of:
Reading a book and finding out that I've improved my reading, vocabulary and understanding skills from the start of the year to this week.
Next week my goal is:
Since I couldn't achieve my goal from last week, I think I should work on my first goal again.

It seems like I hadn't improve much, but I'll try harder next week to be much better than this week!
