What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): overall, the class went well. David brought a focused and engaging energy to the class. He also was able to have the class participate in a variety of activities that were challenging yet doable. By the way, we need more cards for first-time students as we are completely out.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Quinton’s second time teaching on Wednesday. I was happy that he was receptive to and implemented our ideas to have a class with more variety and fun, and he seemed more relaxed. We talked a bit about Measure 88 by using small parts of it, and the pros and cons, as dictations. Students seemed very interested in this issue and how it might affect them and their families. Quinton told a story of a car accident he was in as a dictation, and one student shared about a loved one she lost in a car accident. We did a listen-and-do and Simon Says with turn right, turn left, brake, drive, and check the rearview, that was a fun halftime activity. Finally, we worked on Mayra’s story on the Causa website’s video, about how not being able to have a driver’s license has affected her, using her story as a dictation. It was great to see Quinton really go with the flow and adjust activities in the moment, for instance giving the class things to say as call-and-response when he noticed that a particular explanation was leaving the students confused. Phung mentioned this would probably be her last class as she is moving, and told me how grateful she is for the class, and I was able to thank her for always being so helpful to all the other students (across cultural and language boundaries).

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Today was Mark G.’s “Dress Rehearsal”; Congratulations Mark! First experiences as the MC can always be rough and Mark felt like it was challenging at times, which he stated during Reflection Time. We quickly went through the Alphabet and the Name Y&S, which we could have used a little more time as we had a very new learner. We then went over a Time Card as the lesson was about rest periods and meal breaks. I think Mark was hoping the time card would facilitate discussion on rest periods vs meal breaks and whether or not employers must pay for these times etc. but some of the students were a little confused overall. We then spent the rest of the class time writing down sentences about rest periods and breaks. I suggested to Mark that scripts be written down ahead of time so that they are in a Q&A format and can be practiced around the room or between two people. Overall there were a lot of laughs and the learners took home good information they can use in their workplaces.
