Scenes / points teachers felt the effects

We searched the internet sites, read books, talked about the informationcollected
We talked together in groups as a team, and also with Japanese students
We still need to think more and finde more effective ways to solve
problems.
We learned actively, but still need to make efforts to put it in the practice
We worked on our Themes as a group and in smaller groups in theclassroom. Also participated in discussion with Japanese students
We are better in describing in words than we are in painting.
Still we will have to learn more and cooperate better in the future4
