Update
Today I started teaching using the TESEP principles. I divided my class into groups and gave them the task I had devised. They seemed to warm pretty quickly to the project and although the noise level was higher than I normally like there definitely seemed to be a bit of activity. It was also good to see them interacting and I was interested to see who emerged as a group leader. They have 2 weeks to complete this project so I will keep you updated on the progress.
