What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Cecelia led the group and dictated sentences on the them of diversity. Most of the learners were very low level as we could see from the alphabet point, so we tag-teamed giving lots of one-on-one assistance. One of the upper-level Spanish speakers translated what he could to the others and this was very helpful. All six learners were Spanish speakers–a rarity! learners also collaborated during the word cloud document search. Cecelia had a longer lesson planned, but truncated and edited for this level. Class ended with a invitation to the Milagro at the end of this month and learners joked with each other about the venue and drinking beer. Lively, talkative class with a small handful of first-timers.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific):
This class was a great example of the benefit of having some routine activities and an MC/DJ/assistant team for when the MC forgets they are MC’ing! Zadok put together a great lesson less than a half-hour before class. Colleen started with the alphabet listen and point, then Zadok took over with several activities around the title of the lesson: “Why aren’t there more black people in Oregon?” We did a round robin passing Zadok’s phone with pictures of 5 local activists, and a dialogue “This is X…” then a dictation to write their names. A short video and a gap-fill activity brought us back to the lesson title. One learner had her two grade school kids with her and they did everything with us. The 5th grade boy was very involved and helpful to others with dictation. Their involvement was a good example of how to integrate kids into the content instead of having them sit apart doing something on their own. In our reflection, we talked about the fact that there could have been a longer deeper lesson about identity using the phone photos, had there been more prep time to think it through. All in all, this lesson came together well and learners were engaged with the content and with helping each other.

We also did round robin and a few more sentences of dictation at the end of the class.

Total Score: 38

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): I like the fact that all the learner were very dedicated to the class, they have great writing skills, all of them were ladies. We have a couple that came to the class but feel uncomfortable or felt that it wasn’t the right class for them, the male didn’t know any english and his partner was a high level. So they had to leave.
Other than that, it was great. They really like the last activity witch was a scramble game.
