・　The workshop was very exciting and the students seems to think and speak very much. In the workshop, two thinking tool were introduced as to promote student' higher order thinking (Image Map, KWL). For the first time, students were too shy to speak out. However after 1 hours, they seemed to feel relax and comfortable to work and study with other students.

The performance of teachers was perfect. Their team teaching was outstanding. It is because they have met very often to prepare the program. After the SLC, teachers gathered and discussed for 1 hours as to reflect their performance in the workshop. And　also planed the workshop of the previous day.
