Homework_Dancing Class and Fair Grading (1) In my dancing class of middle school, the teacher teamed my class up into several groups and assigned to put together a creative dance routine for the mid-term exam. My team chose a traditional folk song and started to creat movements to the lyrics and beats of the music. When we had spare times between classes, after lunch, we gathered at the backyard of the school building and tried to complete the mission bit by bit. I guess that we all felt that it was like playing a game rather than a task to be evaluated. We enjoyed the making process itself. We also discussed what to wear on the stage and decided even to use small baskets on our performance. I can't forget the expression on the teacher's face after watching our work. It was simply saying, you girls are awesome. And of course all members of my team were given the same perfect scores, and we were just nothing but happy. Now I am curious, is there somebody who sees this as being unfair? I didn't think about it at that time because I was young, innocent, and everything is black and white of the world at those ages. But I guess if that was happening with high school or college students, the teacher would have been bombared with claims and objects on her way of grading.

Homework_Dancing Class and Fair Grading (1)

In my dance class at middle school, the teacher split us up into several groups and told us to put together a creative dance routine for the mid-term exam. My team chose a traditional folk song and we started to choreograph movements to the lyrics and beats of the music. When we had spare time between classes after lunch, we would meet in the backyard of the school and work on the assignment bit by bit. I guess we all felt that it was like a game rather than an assessed task as we enjoyed doing it so much. We also discussed what to wear and even decided to use small baskets in our performance. I won't forget the expression on our teacher's face after watching our performance, I could tell she was thinking "you girls are awesome". And of course all of my team were given perfect scores - we were ecstatic! 


Now I am curious, does anybody see this as being unfair? I didn't think about it at the time because I was young, innocent, and everything is black and white at that age. But I guess if that happened with high school or college students, the teacher would have been bombared with accusations about her way of grading.

"in middle school" sounds more natural "separated my class into several groups" Change "assigned to" to "told us to" "creat" --> "create" Native speakers usually say "spare time" even when it's plural. So "in our spare time between classes" "even decided to use small baskets in our performance" "black and white in the world at this age" "if this happened in high school or college" "that teacher's grading method would be bombarded with criticism" Good job and keep studying!
