What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): it was a really nice group today.. oddly, almost completely everyone different from the last monday I was here. It took quite a bit of coaxing and managing to get everyone on the same page, but it started to come together. I like this new video I’m working with about immigration history.. it’s challenging, but short, and it has a solid anticolonial message. Some good laughing, some thumbs up, some definite improvement on some folks parts.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): lots of people showed up 15 after, but by then, I was just doing a round robin repeat. this led into talking about the last class, and it became clear that working with ordinal numbers was going to be a good idea. I really wanted to work with the immigration video and the beatles video, but the ordinals ended up taking enough time, that all we really got to do was play the song once.. but next week!

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Overall a good class, however my assistant pointed out that I speak too much Russian with the learners which leaves out the Spanish speakers with whom I speak Spanish too, but not as much as I do Russian. I thought It was a good observation!

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): This class kinda got bogged down. It was very interesting.. I used a video of the immigration timeline.. 3 minutes. I went through it and we used a word by word choral response.. with a few replays.. it wasn’t a waste of time or anything, but pretty repetitive and one dimensional. I do think people kind of got it, though, because folks seemed to respond that they didn’t realize this was the history, and it was pretty intense about smallpox, etc.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Sue and I used her map of Oregon, which was fairly engaging.. surprisingly difficult to find portland at the very beginning! But after they got it, it was a lot easier.. ramped up the drama quite a bit, and eventually was getting them. One learner who really struggles still struggled, but she brokethrough by finding the word forest, a bit surprising given what appears an inability to read. Then she saw the word siuslaw… though I think they were guesses, they were very accurate guesses.
