peer reading

I thought peer reading was actually kind of fun. It was interesting to read other people's speeches, and it made me less nervous that my speech was totally the wrong kind of thing and I was just going to fail miserably. It was kind of hectic, but that is okay. I actually did a peer review of チュアさん's post on 日本語のクラス instead, and in the end had to peer review hers on her blog! But in the end we all got peer reviewed, and did some reading, and it turned out just peachy. It was funny that maybe one of the least helpful parts was the actual rubrik - the only really practical comments were about tiny grammar mistakes and typos. What was useful was to talk to friends about it, and be reassured that it isn't awful before you hand it in to さと先生。

In other news, speech on monday. I am worried. When we were dialoguing in class, I would be doing just fine - until さと先生　came to watch us talking, then I would forget what I was saying, and it would all just disappear. If anyone wants to practice over the weekend, I am a dude who also does, so let's get do it to it.
