What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): There was some confusion at the library with a convention going on so we had fewer students today, and even they came in quite late. All three students were very high level so we started with introductions and dictations. Charlie had some dialogues with some missing words in between. After dictating it, we practiced the dialogues one by one. We then moved on to the listen and find activity for which we used the Bill of Rights’ preamble. We ended the class with a choral response activity.
