Learning Descriptive Text Using Blended Learning

Hello, everyone!
Today, I would like to introduce blended learning. One of the methods that teachers can use for their class. I used blended learning to make a lesson about descriptive text.
The activity is design to improve student's listening, reading, vocabulary, and writing.
My student for descriptive text is 10th grade. Describing something is very important and being used in many writing occasion. By knowing how to describe something, it would make the writing more detail.
The students will watch a video about what is descriptive text. Then, they will read some example of descriptive text. Then they need to write 2 descriptive texts about a place and a person from the pictures in the Blendspace. If they have difficulties with the vocabulary,  there are also some examples of adjective that they can use. The students should do it for 1 hour and submit it before the lesson ends. At the end of the lesson, there is an assignment that students should do at home, and they should submit it before one day before the next meeting. The assignment is to make two descriptions of a place and a person, and they also need to put the pictures of the place and the person.
Blendspace is very effective and very easy to make. I think that Blendspace will help any teacher in their lessons. I made my Blendspace at www.tes.com which give many examples of a variety of Blendspace. Beside it easy to make, teachers also can show what they want to introduce to their students for effectively. With Blendspace, teachers don't need to search again or open the source one by one or giving the students hardcopy. Teachers only need to click sources that they already put. It thinks it also makes students more interested in the lesson. It would help teachers in any way like they don't need to search it by themselves because it already gives you option what you want to input, but that not close the possibility to put their own.
What to improve:
1. It could be confusing for people who have little experience with computer,
2. It needs a strong connection to the internet.

Quizlet: Playing and Learning

Being a teacher sometimes is a hard and stressful job. There are many things that make the work hard, for example: making sheet works, watched by the supervisors, having uncooperative co-workers, dealing naughty students, etc. Other that, dealing the class is not an easy job either. To make students cooperative with you could be a hard thing to do. Especially, the student did not take any interest in the subject. They would play with each other, busy by themselves, not pay attention, and disturb the class. We all, of course, have been a student before, and we all know it is hard to focus on the subjects that we didn't like. We will do other else to keep us busy or not bored. At the end, we would not understand anything about the subject and get a bad score in the test. I know that all of this back to the student themselves, but being a teacher we also can help the student focus to the subjects by make the class fun or show something interesting that steal the student’s f...
