SOFA SESSIONS REVIEW (Marta Alonso)

This group gather all the information to improve given to the rest of the teams because they were the last one presenting.  Their presentation was perfectly structured and its slides’ design was unbeatable covered by pictures. A great point to stars was the index where they wrote each point of their presentation for, as they said: “Help us to follow the presentation”. The presentation was full of details which make it easy to follow and create an interest on each point. It also covered all the theory and it was well explained but it would be better to create a balance between all the components with the objective of having the same level of leadership inside the group. Although they have achieved their commitments individually, they need to improve the group communication meeting each other more times and not missing classes. They found a way to share the information and opinions if they could not meet. They used Google Docs which any group used and it is so useful to upload any kind of document and see others’. According to the theory knowledge they knew how to answer questions but in some members it would be needed a bit more of security. While talking about advantages and disadvantages of cooperative learning they did not use the perfect word to express cooperative learning’s challenges. It would be better to use for example ‘limitations’. They used jigsaw technique in their activity and for explaining in what it consisted on they played a short video where it was perfectly explained. After the video they explained the steps to follow whit the help of the instructions they write on the presentation and a very important point other group didn’t explained was the way they are going to be assessed: self-assessment and co-evaluation. The activity was related with social science for learn the provinces of Castilla-La Mancha. First expert groups were formed to worked about the same province and then they went back to the base groups to share the information in which they were experts in.
