What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Super good class today! We had lots of fun talking about mushrooms. We reviewed our photos from last week and asked eachother which mushrooms we’ve tried and if we liked them or not. We practiced various short dialogues and then we watched a youtube video about mushroom hunting for the Matsutake. We realized that we all love mushrooms!

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We reviewed our mushrooms and then did a quick review of a dialogue we practiced last week. This led into a structured dialogue about the taste of mushrooms which then led to a focus on the primary categories of taste. (mushrooms fall into one that I didn’t know about called, Umami). We then learned some common words commonly used in describing food and practiced by describing different foods. A bit of a stray from the main theme but very useful and relevant, as one learner in particular noted :)

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We began with a little dialogue about the heatwave and then asked eachother if we have Air conditioning at our homes. We then did a super quick review with our mushrooms and then moved onto learning about some other plants local to Oregon/the Pacific NW. First we explored a native plant poster via a document search and we talked about plants that we recognized there. Then we focused on a few of these plants (mostly berries and flowers) and practiced this/that/these/those. Next and last we used those plants to practice another short dialogue round robin style. Lots of speaking practice today, their mouths were tired!

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We wrapped up the theme of Local Flora today with some review of the last few weeks. We reviewed mushroom and flower names, and practiced asking each other if we have seen certain types of flowers. Then we talked about our favorites… boy do they love their flowers! We also practiced the sentence ‘Is it/are they edible’ which was super fun(ny). They have a hard time with the beginning part of the questions ‘is it’ (they say ‘it is’ a lot instead) so I like to practice this often with them. Lots of laughter and fun for the last class before a 2 week break!
