Tree Maps via Google Drive

Assallamualaikum and a very good morning everyone.

This post shares the differences between creating the Tree Maps manually using sticky-notes + manila cards and creating the Tree Maps online using Google Drive. 

Both are of course, groups work.

I want everyone to share your own experiences using both ways of creating the Tree Maps. Do not worry, you can share the negative as well as the positive parts of using both methods.

Happy writing everyone!

Speaking : A nerve-racking experience

Good Morning everyone. 

Here we are again......

The Write From Your Heart Project .

Sometimes,it feels as if we experience stressful situations,
or at least worry about them, 
every day of our lives. 
Thus,it is no surprise that we have many words 
to describe things that cause us unease.
One of these words, nerve-racking, 
describes something that causes a great deal of stress or anxiety.
Today , you are going to discuss 
or express your feeling when it comes to 
SPEAKING TASK.
Come, let us hit the discussion room now!

Writing : Traditionally or online ?

Writing : 

Traditionally or online ?

Assallamualaikum everyone and good morning.

Our topic of discussion for today is :

Writing traditionally or writing online?

Since I have taught you how to communicate using Google Drive ,thus being present at the same place and at the same time are not the two most important things that matter to carry out a discussion or communication,I would like all of you to share your point of view regarding this approach to our teaching and learning. 
You can share the pros and cons of the approach to our English classrooms and to you personally.

Write from your hearts.

I will be waiting to read and respond.
