Lesson Title: Conquistadores

DJ: MC Entered attendance, no DJ
Assistants/Shadowers/Auditioner:
Module: immigration history
How Many Learners: 6

Preparation: Forgot to Show Up (1) vs. Every Hair In Place (10) = 5
Technique: Completely Incompetent (1) vs. Flawless Delivery (10) = 4
Engagement: Snoring Loudly (1) vs. Absolutely Riveted (10) = 4

Poise: Charlie Brown (1) vs. Prince (10) = 4
Reflection: “It was ok.” (1) vs. Life-changing Epiphany (10) = 4What 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.

Took a random item from the shelf and worked it fully. Felt like there was significant pronuncation/articulatory awareness happening. May not turn into immediate fluency change, but it lays the groundwork

Reflection: “It was ok.” (1) vs. Life-changing Epiphany (10) = 4What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Very interesting group.. was surprised to have three folks, better turnout than several days prior. One new leaner, quite low level, good repeater, but really not tuning into what’s happening (I’ve had this before with a couple of other Chinese learners). We did a lot of repeating and going around the circle.. several times “how many children do you have” and others. At some point, came to the Are You My Mother book.. and Janet had MADE A SMALL BOOKLET ALREADY, which was surprising and very cool. Almost startling! had an interesting setup where one person read, another wrote, and another pointed to the words as they were being said. this helped manage three levels. I thought I was a little too bossy, but at the end, the higher skill person totally approached me to pay for my time! I’m going to see if I can get this connected to someone else, with my support in there.

Reflection: “It was ok.” (1) vs. Life-changing Epiphany (10) = 5What 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!

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.

Learner was pretty nervous, but she warmed up, and the material we were using had some challenging words, but she responded well, and I could see her confidence growing. Her husband wasn’t there, and he often helps a little too much. I think it was a huge boost to her to see that she could do it on her own.

The vaccination sheet turned out to be useful and engaging with very large numbers on it.

Reflection: “It was ok.” (1) vs. Life-changing Epiphany (10) = 4What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): nice size group for Rockwood evening, bigger than it’s been in a while! we worked with “where was your mother born?” which is one of the great language/tense practice focuses. We don’t ask where were you born, because that could give away someone’s background, but this question isn’t incriminating to an individual and allows us to understand their ethnic background better. Still working with this group to encourage them to help each other more.

Another long timer came back. Lots of writing, but pretty interesting. one learner left early, another left for the bathroom.

We had an English speaking worker in the room, and I could see some interest in the Spanish language book A for Activista. They were already practicing together, so I decided to make that the lesson. I carried it in, until another learner came, and we extended it for 30 min into the Spanish class, then ended kind of early, but a good workout for all. They all got a bit tired, probably a bit too much, with more than 2 hours.
