Reflexion
on
the
implementation
for
improvement:
It
was
a
very
fun
and
exciting
project
for
all
students
.
Whether
that
has
had
to
extend
the
initial
sessions
prepared
to
cover
some
of
the
many
concerns
of
students
.
This
has
caused
the
number
of
sessions
exceeds
that
we
thought
and
the
teachers
have
had
to
adapt
some
of
the
intended
activities.
Students
have
wanted
to
build
and
play
a
volcano
erupting
,
and
for
that
we
had
to
ask
for
help
from
the
art
teacher.
Probably
the
teacher
would
ask
more
time
for
projects
like
this
.
Students
enjoy
and
are
motivated
and
teachers
is
difficult
to
say
no
to
some
propose.
Finally
we
are
very
happy
with
all
the
work
that
has
been
done.
Students
have
learned
much
English
vocabulary
(unknown
to
them
since
today)
and
they
have
extended
knowledge
on
a
very
attractive
issue
for
them.
They
could
clearly
make
an
oral
presentation
in
front
of
their
collegues
on
a
summary
of
what
was
learned.
