[Assistant] Same? Okay, how are your other subjects? How is generally Sec 3 work to you? More difficult, less difficult?

[User] Easier.

[Assistant] Oh it’s easier? So it’s easier in Maths and Science as well? Is English easier?

[User] Same.

[Assistant]
Same, so English is the same for you. Your teacher changed from Sec 2 to Sec 3 right? How is this English teacher compared to lat year’s English teacher?

It’s okay if you don’t answer. The same with the rest of y’all, if you find that it’s something that’s uncomfortable, do not be forced. I’m here to try and find out about the system, not to judge you. So I need to dig a little bit more so that I can understand a little bit. So it’s okay Walter, when you’re comfortable telling me what it is that’s making studies easier or more difficult just let mw know. Thank you.

So Watson what about you? How has it been this year for you?

[Assistant] Okay, quite decent. If you compare what Ms O does in the Scribo program and your teacher in school, are they doing the same things or different things?

[User] About the same.

[Assistant] About the same, okay. But what is one thing that maybe the Scribo program or the CDAC program helped even though it’s about the same? Anything that was more helpful to you?

[Assistant] About the same, okay. But what is one thing that maybe the Scribo program or the CDAC program helped even though it’s about the same? Anything that was more helpful to you?

[User] Most helpful is- it helps focus more on writing skills because in school you’re learning more on your vocabs but they don’t teach you a lot on your writing skills. That’s why I find the Scribo is better in teaching you how to write better essays and stuff.

[Assistant] Okay, is it the program that teaches you how to write better or Ms O, the videos she shows or the worksheets that she shows? What was it that helped?

Oh okay it was the worksheets that helped y’all. Thank you so much. Wesley let’s hear from you. Wesley and Wiley I just want to understand how- because last year y’all were also on the program as well, so how is your experience of Scribo this year compared to last year?

Is it better, same or worse? Maybe we start with Wesley?

Comparing this year and last year on the Scribo program, what are your feelings? Is it better?

[User] Practicing more essays, writing essays.

[Assistant]
Okay, in fact I’m curious and this is a question for everyone, do y’all use Scribo outside of CDAC? In other words do you use Scribo for your schoolwork? For those of you that do, can you use the thumbs up there to let me know? Do y’all use Scribo outside of CDAC?

In other words you’re using it to practice on your own like Wesley was saying? Anyone? I’m curious why- because actually you can, I’m sure C will tell y’all you can. So then Wesley just to double check, when you say “practice more”, it is the practice that Ms O ask y’all to do? Is it Wesley?

[Assistant] Okay, why? Help me understand.

[User] I mean it’s really hard to compare because last year kind of already helped me with English a lot, so this year it’s almost the same exact class, but instead I have a slight boost in English you know. I’m slightly better at it, I find it easier.

[Assistant] Okay, you say you’re slightly better, did your teachers in school notice the improvement?

So she probably gave you all a lot of help, helping words and all that, structure. Then tell me what y’all do after that. So maybe we start with Wyatt, ladies first? So when Ms O gives y’all a piece of work to do, how do you make use of Scribo in doing that piece of work?

[User] Another point of view other than the teacher’s view, because the age difference.

[Assistant] Ah okay, that’s a good point, another point of view. Does using Scribo make it more difficult to give peer feedback? I mean I imagine 2 pieces of paper easier, but doing it online, is it more troublesome?

[User] Sometimes my network will lag and then...yeah.

[Assistant] Oky, so having a piece of paper might be easier. Is there anything that is an advantage of using online?

[User] I write faster. I type faster than I write.

[Assistant] Yeah you type faster than you write, okay thank you. I think sometimes also because when you write you have to think carefully then you put on paper, if not you have to use correction tape right. Typing you can kind of like delete and cut and paste, am I describing it correctly?

[User] Because I wasn’t paying much attention to class so yeah. It’s my fault.

[Assistant] Oh okay, so would you prefer to use Scribo to give feedback, or you prefer face-to-face feedback?

[User] I think face-to-face feedback in way better because it’s not like a typing down words- like you’re actually face-to-face confronting someone about your work and stuff and like-

[Assistant]
Okay, well some people who are shy, that might be better because at least they can type. So thank you very much for that. Walter what about you, do you prefer- how do you feel about peer feedback?

So giving peers feedback do you like doing that? Okay, why? Can you help me understand why?

Okay alright thank you. How about Watson? What has your experience been giving peer feedback, or getting peer feedback?

[User] It helps a lot. Like you are able to give people feedback on what they’re weak on, and you also get to receive feedback on what you are weak on. Basically you are able to improve on what you’re lacking and you’re able to also find out what you’re lacking, because we can’t really judge on our own.

[Assistant] Ah okay just out of curiosity does your teacher in school use peer assessment?

[User] Not all the time, but we do sometimes.

[Assistant] So if you were to compare, like Wiley prefers face-to-face, but for you do you prefer peer feedback that is face-to-face or using the platform like Scribo?

[User] I would prefer face-to-face considering that the person can directly tell you what you’re weak on.

[Assistant]
Okay, if you were to give advice to either your teacher or Ms O to use peer feedback more next term, because y’all obviously find it helpful, what would be one thing she can do to make peer assessment like this better for you? A better experience for you?

I’m asking Watson. So what can Ms O do next term to make peer assessment more effective, more enjoyable for you?

[User] Actually nothing I can think of right now.

[Assistant]
Okay fair enough, that’s very fair thank you very much for being frank about this. ...so I’m gonna try and end soon. I just need one sentence from each of you, everybody must say something, or at least type something.

So this is the one thing I want you all to tell me, has the way you learn English or study English changed in these 11 months? It’s okay to say nothing has changed, if something has changed tell me what has changed. ...has the way you study or learn English changed since you started on CDAC tuition with Scribo? ...

So who wants to go first? And once you’ve told me you can leave the room, but go back to the main room where Ms O is waiting for you patiently. Anybody wants to start first?

Okay...[reading chatbox] don’t just tell me what has improved, tell me your own way of learning. Because I hear from all of you your spelling has improved, your grammar has improved, which is a good thing. But how do you go about improving yourself in English? Has it changed?

Maybe think of habits, do you have a habit of checking your essay more? Or do you have a- now your habit of looking over the words that Ms O gives you? Think about all these possibilities.

Maybe hearing somebody helps. So Wyatt any changes in the way you go about studying or learning English?

Our discussion will be divided into different sections and we are going to have almost 5 section and those sections are; On the first section we are going to discuss about different reasons for the food change intake in our community, Second section we are going to discuss issues concern milk, On the third section we are going to discuss on the issue concern the drinking /eating of animal blood, Forth section will be about selection of food, Last section is going to be on how education/school has influence youth involvement in controversial issues in the community and last we a going to discuss about training, education and information concerning nutrition and health and what types of food can be used for the good health.

let’s start with our first section; we know that in our society (maasai) different changes have been occurring ,at the moment those food that we used to eat before now you’re not consuming them as much, because there are a lot of different food that we are eating and also the way those foods were prepared it is far way different from how they are being prepared now, so can you tell me in your society what kind of food that are available and used now that before you were not eating them?

[User] yes, it’s true that there is a very big change on the kind of food that we used to eat before and now, example before we Maasai we were eating meat and milk only but now we are eating all kind of food that other tribes are eating

[Assistant] what are those new foods that you’re eating now besides meat and milk?

[User] Now we are eating banana, rice, cassava, potato, fish and so many foods like vegetables

[Assistant] comparing the past and now does the preparation of food the same e.g. How you used to cook meat is it the same as how you cook now?

[Assistant] comparing the past and now does the preparation of food the same e.g. How you used to cook meat is it the same as how you cook now?

[User] No, in the past we used to eat raw meat without cooking, but now we boil, we roast with tomato and carrots and onion.

[Assistant] What other ways of cooking meat?

[User] No, in the past we used to eat raw meat without cooking, but now we boil, we roast with tomato and carrots and onion.

[Assistant] What other ways of cooking meat?

[User] Now we sometimes grill the meat or we fry in the oil.

[Assistant] so now all kind of food that Swahili are eating you Maasai also eat like fish even though very few of you are eating fish but food like beans, cassava, rice, potato you also consumes them and even the way of preparing those food is different from the past now I see you boil, roast using onion, tomato, oil and so many other things.

[Assistant] so what brings those changes?

[User] Yes.

[Assistant] so what brings those changes?

[User] Education,

[Assistant] why and how education can u explain more please?


[System] Act as an information elicitation agent for academic interviews.

[User] Yes.

[Assistant] so what brings those changes?

[User] Education,

[Assistant] why and how education can u explain more please?

[User] When kids/youth go to school they associate with different people from different other tribes and who have different ways of life (e.g. cooking) so the kids learn and adopt those ways and once they went back home they practice those new ways.

[Assistant] what else bring those changes besides education?

[Assistant] what else bring those changes besides education?

[User]
Mixed up with different people from different tribes contributes to those changes, in the past Maasai we were living in the forest all by ourselves without mixed up with other tribes but now we are living in town with different people, so this causes to adopt other people’s way of living including what they eat.

Another factor for a change is Marriage, now even masai marries people from different tribes not like in the past, this helps to bring those changes as if you marry a woman from Chagga land then she will cook banana and other food that they are eating from their tribe.

[Assistant] Anything else?

[User]
weather change is also affecting the way people eat, this is because it depends with the season when it is spring we have lots of milk and meat because there is a lot of grasses so cow food is not a problem, but during summer it is dry so even the availability of milk is very low so we find other type of food to eat.

Also health wise, when we go to see doctors we a being advised to eat health food like fish, vegetables , fruits and other food rather than only meat and milk.

[Assistant] What about changes in a way of living does this also make you eat different kind of food from the past?
