........Happy Christmas Party .............

Today was a really nice and remarkable day for me. We prepared a puzzle activity related to some words and our friends played it. However, we had to leave even though we showed just the activity and were not able to check at the end. Sorry, we left because we didn`t buy a present for our friends in that we didn`t know that we had to bring one. Therefore, we felt a bit shy and ashamed. As a consequence of this, we just left the class in order to buy a present. After a while, we just came and enjoyed the beautiful air of the party with our friends. Our great cooks cooked duck, potatoes with sugar sauce which was completely interesting for me,a desert with rice and almonds. Apart from these, my teacher Ann Christine told that Danish people start to sing hand in hand around christmas tree and than open their presents. It seems to be a nice tradition. After we ate really delicious meals, we just sat down and we threw the dices and when it came 6, it meant you could choose a present and I threw 6 and I had a present. I was happy. However, I learnt that presents changed with the cards. Anna read a paper according to which we changed our presents and our places. Yet, I again loved my lovely present, which I will keep with myself for a long time unless of course if they don`t get broken. All in all, I can say that I enjoyed myself and it was really nice to feel that great weather with friends. And now I am getting ready to leave for Turkey. It was a nice term, I finished my study products and now time to get relaxed and feel the soul of Gud Jule:).

(x+y+z=?): What is the result and How to do evaluation???

Today was a different day for me. You may ask why. Actually, it is because I had an exam. Yes, I already did my study product in Pedagogy and today I had oral exam. Except from Peter, there was another teacher. They asked some questions and I talked ralated to my study product. Before I entered in the room, I was a bit excited which is really normal to emerge, but I was able to control my excitement and I tried to answer what was asked to me. Actually, it was a really good environment in that you don`t get nervous really much. In my country, I can say that we had presentations in pertinent to our products. We explain all the topic in our work and teacher doesn`t explain our mark immediately after the presentation. It is declared after the term finishes in the site which helps us as students to see our notes. However, I really would like to say that after I talked, Peter and the other teacher gave feedback, which is actually really useful in that I became aware of what points were done related to my work and how I would improve myself. In addition to this, I found evaluation in Denmark really great in that we again discussed something and behaved critically in contrast to Turkey. In oral exams of Turkey, we have presentations, but discussion point is a bit missing. The point I like here is that teachers and student discuss and also add new points. I wasn`t just talking in front of blackboard by talking about topic. I was discussing the topic with teachers, which is quite important for me in that I can also think critically. Creating individuals who think critically is a part of Turkish curriculum and I am happy to see my improvement in this dimension.Yes, I hope I can really be a good teacher in every aspects and skills, and also help my students to comprehend the idea of thinking creatively and critically for being successful instead of just memorizing and telling what is written.

''The first snow in Denmark''

Yes, at last the grandmother `Rapunzel Snow', who had long white hair covering the all earth, came to visit her grandchildren in Vordingborg. I would like to welcome her by saying that I`m really glad to see her because I feel extremely blissful in that she persuades me to believe in quiteness, peace, and sincerity of life. Yes, when I saw the snow, I couldn`t believe in my eyes because a lot of time has passed since I saw snow. Actually, I used to see snow when I was in Adiyaman, the city I live in, but I couldn`t see it when I started to study in Mersin because of the climate. Generally, I am fond of snow and I like to play snowball with the people I love. Nonetheless, I would like to confess that experiencing snow is a completely different evident in Denmark. When it was snowing, I and my housemates went outside and we started to play snowball and ran like little cheerful children in the snow. In addition to this, we heard the music sound and decided to follow cars and people in the street. Firstly, I couldn`t understand why there were lots of people in the street and I was totally amazed to see there were a great numbers of people in Vordingborg streets which was unusual. People came with their babies and small children. Children sitting in the firefighters` cars threw candies to the people in the streets. They were opening the lights on the trees. Santa Claus was also talking, and a woman looked at me and smiled even though I couldn`t understand what they were talking about, I was just happy when I realized that people were fond of the snow and children were sliding in a crazy way. After the celebrationn finished, my friends and I just ran and played snowball with excitement and happiness in our hearts. Moroever, I wanna say that my heart got really warm upon seeing how elated and candid people were despite the fact that it was extremely cold outside. I really would like to thank to grandmother Rapunzel Snow in that she makes me be thoughtful about homeless people to be cared and makes people bind each other more by creating a feeling of humanity and a soul of Christmas.
