Reflection: “It was ok.” (1) vs. Life-changing Epiphany (10) = 8What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Today we went over some common utensil vocabulary, did a recipe dictation, and used some baking tips for a document search. The class was pretty big and had a wide range of student levels, which may have contributed to us not being able to complete the planned activities. MC made sure to have enough activities in the lesson plan so that there wouldn’t be any dead space, and DJ brought props to give visuals to new vocabulary. Common vocabulary was used throughout all activities, which made them feel connected to one another.

Reflection: “It was ok.” (1) vs. Life-changing Epiphany (10) = 6What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Today was Millicent’s dress rehearsal. We had a relatively small class with two new learners. Class centered around an apple pie recipe, which was used for dictation, document search, and listen-and-do. We moved through activities a little too quickly and had about a half hour to fill in at the end. DJ, MC, and Auditioner collaborated to create activities, which included extra speaking and pronunciation practice and a sort of reverse listen-and-do, where Auditioner performed an action and students called it out. Then we went around one by one, saying the action aloud. Millicent stayed collected despite the activity scramble, and we all discussed ways to slow down and stretch activities during the debrief.

The was good and engaging because Millicent’s lesson plan was well balanced to challenge all levels. The lesson plan had simple words like tree and more challenging word like deciduous! Fun class overall!
