What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): It was a great class. The MC brought some visually interesting materials. For example, a chart of different fruits that grow in different months. There was a lot of choral response with sentences which learners appreciated because it was challenging for them to repeat them out loud. I substituted Laura because she was feeling well.
