Review can be boring, when it is from word to word and then translation. But reviews can be fun, when a little competition is introduced: the class gets loud and excited over a character. I hear "Yay!" when a person gets something right. The sense of accomplishing something is truly valuable. Then there is another way of review and reflecting: present what we have learned in a little play. "How did I say my line?" "How well did my whole group perform?" "My role is ____ and it means _____." The students took it upon themselves to do a better job each time we practice.
"How can we do better next time?" Would be what I want to ask myself and the learners in our classrooms.
