The rest of the time was taken up by two listen and point activities using a map of Portland Neighborhoods and a menu for a nearby restaurant.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We had a very full room with 16 students. Julie led class through a dialogue discussing what we like to cook. A student shared/ dictated a traditional recipe of spinach pie and students wrote it down. We finished class with a game of memory involving kitchen vocabulary. A higher level student came up with his own method of helping others that went quite well. It was a good class with most if not all students showing recognizable progression over previous weeks.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We started on time with Alphabet, Listen and Point for the first half hour and it was good for low level learners to practice more the basics of spelling and at the same time challenge the higher ones by speeding up the pace at times. We acted out a casual dialog about the price of a toothpaste. It was an interesting class to teach because of the large number of learners and different cultures present. Some learners experienced difficulty with the dictation and the oral repetitions but there was plenty of assistance and positive reinforcement to provide them with.
