Reflection: “It was ok.” (1) vs. Life-changing Epiphany (10) = 8What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We did a listen and point with an infographic on safety in the home. We then tried something a little different. There was a sheet with 4 photos of different home emergencies. Next to each one said “what happened” and “what could you do to stop it” or similar. Learners came up with the sentences about what happened and then we all wrote down the same sentences. I liked this because it challenged the higher level learners to create sentences, but still allowed for straight dictation for the lower level learners. Once we wrote all the answers down, we did a round robin: “What happened?” “He fell down the stairs!” “How could you keep it from happening?” “Keep the stairs clear.” This worked pretty well and I may try to do something similar in the future. This is such a consistent group of learners that they have all of the standard techniques down, which makes it easier to try out some new things mixed in with the standard ones!

Reflection: “It was ok.” (1) vs. Life-changing Epiphany (10) = 5There was a Russian‐language art class in the big meeting room, starting at 17:30, so I helped the bilingual librarian, whom I know, and the artist‐in‐residence set‐up the chairs and tables for that, starting at 17:20. Then I participated in the class for 20 minutes. One English‐learner arrived about 35 minutes early, to the large meeting room, and they participated in the art class too. I let them know we would be in the small meeting room this time.
I went to the small meeting room, 10 minutes early, and set up the table and chairs for English. There were two first‐time‐learners there waiting. I welcomed them and showed them the ropes a little bit. Then I moved the rest of my stuff from the big room to the small room. The first‐time‐learners were asking when we could start. I told them we would start when Patrik got there and made small talk with them. They also had questions if the class was for all levels: how would that work, how is this possible ?! I tried to reassure them that we have people who have done English in university and people who have never done English before, and that it works great, and that it would be great.
Other learners started to arrive, including the one from the art class. I started doing alphabet listen and point when the wall clock said 6. Patrik arrived two or three minutes later and we discovered that the wall clock in not in‐sync with International Atomic Time. Patrik did more alphabet listen and point, then Patrik led yell and spell names and dictated some sentences about the US federal government making the anniversary of Columbus’ first landing in the Bahamas a federal holiday and that Columbus did reprehensible things and is not worthy of honor.
Then we watched a movement‐building video, on the internet, about urging people in the US to call on our representatives, in the US Congress, to create a federal holiday honoring indigenous peoples, and Patrik led the learners in transcribing what the participants in the video say about the legacy of Columbus and why it’s time to reconsider Columbus Day and replace it with something else.
