Peer Work and Its Significance(Reviewing Movies)

 Welcome, again...


    Today I did an interesting experiment thanks to a task given by one of my teachers. Our task was to create a review post about a movie with a friend. Thus, me and my friend Bora watched a movie called Get Out, a great movie by the way. Unfortunately, I won't be talking about the movie itself but rather the importance of the peer work itself. 




    When you try to work with a peer, you need to use one of the 21st century learning skills: 

                                                                         Collaboration


   

    Working with another brain is a great way to measure your dominance of the subject. It also strengthens your collaborative skills. You need to think as two and work as two. Me and Bora did brainstorm at first. We talked about the movie, its themes, how it's presented, the lighting and camera angles, etc. By doing that we shared our thoughts about the movie with each other. We also had a writing task to fulfill. While doing the writing we helped each other to create better sentences and express ourselves more clearly. The peer work has thought me a great method of teaching and I know Bora is also thinking like that because this work also helped us to form a connection. This method can be used to form connections between students as well.


Now as a teacher candidate I can say that: 

I tried this peer work method on my own and yeah, will be doing it.
