What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): The class followed a fairly basic structure at the start, and hte dictation went very smoothly. He demonstrated dialogues only once or twice before prompting the students to do them with each other. This worked beautifully with the upper level students and poorly with some of the lower level students who couldn’t keep up with the class. The range of the class was such that if he had slowed it down for the lower level students the upper level ones would’ve likely been bored. Then he played a song which everyone enjoyed, and had the students do a word hunt using the song lyrics, which everyone was able to follow very smoothly.
