What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): This was Daniel’s dress rehearsal and the lesson revolved around the upcoming Festival of Nations in the Midway area. Daniel used the event flyer and a video in the lesson. There were 2 new learners. We took a little more time to debrief the dress rehearsal, which overall was quite smooth.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): This was a challenging class! Laurel was running late due to taking a wrong turn on accident (and notified me via text before class started), so I started the lesson on time by doing the Alphabet Sheets until she arrived at about 6:10. Laurel said that she had a hard time because she had to jump right in after the class had already started, and she also said that the number of learners was more than she was expecting. I thought she did a great job stepping up to the plate and taking over the class once she arrived – I know that those circumstances would stress me out if I were the MC, but I could not tell that she was frazzled or stressed during the class. She had a great attitude for the duration of the class. We continued with the Yell n Spell, and then moved on to a dictation progression of the lesson title and a dialogue about financial aid. We practiced reading the dialogue together as a class. Laurel brought in a copy of her own college class schedule, and we did a document search with times as well as vocabulary words and class titles. Next, we did a dictation progression of a dialogue about textbooks that Laurel brought into the class – this was my favorite part of the class, because she brought in a variety of textbooks, including new and used ones as well as a wide range of topics. Then we practiced the dialogue as a class, going around the room. We ended with a dictation progression of a list of steps to enroll, which Laurel pulled from the Portland Community College website on her laptop. Alondra thought that one thing that could have gone better would be to mix up the seating arrangement – the room was pretty clearly divided between the Spanish learners and the Vietnamese learners, and she thought the class could benefit from mixing up the groups, which Laurel and I both agreed with. I thought that it would have been helpful to go over more vocabulary for the students before practicing the dialogues, due to the wide range of language levels at this location. We all enjoyed the formal topic of the lesson, and thought it was very relevant to the lives of students who may wish to enroll in college. I also brought in a tongue twister for one of the advanced level students – he was practicing one at the end of the last class, and I think he enjoyed seeing a new one, as it is helping his pronunciation and it’s silly and fun. I’ll probably bring in another one for him next week if I am scheduled at Midland again. Overall, I think we all learned a lot from this class – both learners and teachers.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be thorough) This was the first time I have taught at Midland in a long long time, so I didn’t know how many learners would show up, but when I was at the library earlier printing out documents, a staff member told me the classes were quite popular. 10 learners showed up. Three of them were there for the first time. I couldn’t find an updated schedule of classes at the library to hand out to learners who wanted it. The class was fun and dynamic with learners seemingly enjoying passing around items to fill a backpack for back to school after writing a handful of sentences about PPS and American schools in general. Elizabeth was very helpful and wove into the procedure of the class seamlessly. She thought the class was only an hour long and had to leave right away for an appointment, so we did not have an after-class chat. I hope those learners who wanted schedules of the classes come back. They seemed to enjoy the class very much and were quick to thank us for teaching immediately after. The PPT box is SO heavy and bursting with papers!!! I weeded out old loyalty cards and hope to clean out the box very soon before someone breaks their back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(
