I agree that the engagement is high even though the learners displayed a fair amount of frustration. I have come to learn whilst working along side you that struggle is good! Achieving a break out after a struggle provides a sense of accomplishment which is a reward in itself, a very good reward. However I have also learned whilst reading this actually, that there is a limit to the struggle that needs balancing and from experience I found that the diwali breakout may have been somewhat passed my limit LOL... the learners and I kept persevering and the cheer from the kids was all I needed in terms of a reward. I agree that tweaking breakout problems to the learners level is vital. Can you let me know what the digital form of an applause would be? Although I really do think that this deserves something more like a standing ovation. Ka mau te wehi Mr Davidson! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
