What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We realized while setting up that we had miscommunicated (this was entirely my fault) about who was MC and who was DJ. Vanesa ended up adapting at the last second to use the lesson plan I had prepared so that she could incorporate guest Yolanda (Portland Crime Prevention Coordinator) who had come specifically to share program information with learners. Activities focused around Crime Prevention resources, and 911 and the non-emergency line. Learners got to take home a magnet and a 911 sticker that were used in class.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific):
I really enjoyed this class and believe that the learners did as well! We started with the alphabet listen and point, yell n spell, and a dictation progression of the lesson title. Then we did a dictation progression of a dialogue about emergency preparedness and practiced the dialogue as a round robin around the room. One thing I really enjoyed about this class was that Daniel brought in a page from a graphic novel and used that for a document search. I loved this because it felt like he was adding a pop culture element to this activity, as well as the pictures kind of acting out the dialogue in the story. All of the learners wanted to take home these pages, which indicated to me that they wanted to look at them more outside of class. We also practiced a document search with an emergency preparedness pamphlet. I think that this class was helpful as it introduced vocabulary that the learners had maybe not heard before – like earthquake, emergency, and “freaking out” – a phrase that we say all the time in spoken English but will most likely not be on a pamphlet. One thing that I thought Daniel could do in his next class would be to use “ready?” as a way to get the class to focus on the task at hand, as well as increasing the volume of his voice so that people can really hear his pronunciation. I really liked the way that he did the alphabet listen and point – it was challenging for the learners but it wasn’t chaotic or overwhelming. Overall this was a great class and I thought Daniel led a fun and interesting lesson! Great job, Daniel.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific):
Ashley fell ill and needed to head home, but made it to Midland to give Daniel the lesson plan. We had three shadowers, which helped a lot!
We learned lots and lots about apples – where to pick them, pistils and stamens and ovules, and we even ate some!
Thanks to Ashley for the lesson plan prep – It was easy to jump right in!

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Table at Midland Library practically at overflow capacity! Two new learners representing two new languages. Mellissa set a great tone with a well paced Alphabet that provided some significant challenges in a way that was not too overwhelming. The activities focused on vocabulary and dialogue related to emergencies and 911. Mellisa did an excellent job getting people to focus on each other by stopping in the middle of the lesson to go over everyone’s name again. There was ample time to practice dictation and dialouge “911 – what is your emergency?” “I need an interpreter!” Bingo relating to emergencies was brought to a new level by nice new water bottle prizes compliments of the city. One of the challenges discussed in the reflection was the difficulties of knowing how far to go when facillating corrections in learners.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): The class seemed extra huge since I was alone. People kept trickling in!!!!! I was glad they were there, but I didn’t feel good about not being able to connect with each person. We had fun and I liked that when I had them write sentences pertaining to break-in prevention, they kept asking what a wooden dowel was. I had one I brought from home behind my back and whipped it out to much laughter. We passed it around and when I demonstrated how to wedge it in a window to prevent someone being able to slide the window, they loved it! I passed out magnetic cards and markers and had them write down important emergency numbers so they could stick it on their fridges. They seemed to enjoy that and understood where they would stick them when they got home. It was a lively and fun class. Next time you see me, you won’t recognize me—I think I sweat off at least 20 pounds!!!! ;)

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific):
The original shadower had texted me earlier in the day to notify me that she wasn’t able to make it anymore. I was surprised to see two new people who showed up to shadow. We did alphabet sheets for 15 minutes. We went around the room doing yell and spell with names. We dictated the title of the lesson “Singing songs about apples.” I played the class a song about an apple tree. We dictated the first 4 lines of the song, I played back the song after we dictated each sentence. We did listen and point with a tree wordcloud. We did a red robin question, “Do you have a tree in front of your home?” We ended the class with a listen & do.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): The class went well. There appeared to be a lower number of students than normal. Reduced numbers were attributed to the fact that it was Halloween. Melissa was prepared and engaged the students. A new student was in class today. She appeared to enjoy the class.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): MC was about 5 min late due to a flat tire, so DJ started the class. Transitions between activities went smoothly. Very relevant lesson because clients did not know Powell Butte was so close and you can take the bus to it easily. MC/DJ/clients enjoyed conversing about which buses we take, what trails/parks we have been to, and what we had seen. MC gave print out from Portland Parks that gave trail details and bus lines, many clients appreciated it.Lesson Title:

Connection was high for this class and it was clear the learners were working together.
