What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): This was the first class in our new site. The learners were all pretty advanced. We used Rite Aid ads for Listen & Point and Listen & Identify. We asked each other how much certain items cost, and then we all made shopping lists. We ended by dictating and singing some jingles. I think we can build a good group in this new site.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Class started and ended on time. We began class with the alphabet sheet, names, and the title of the lesson. We did a couple dialogs and an activity that had them practice prices. Instead of a song, we did a few round robin questions and a short listen and do since the original idea wasn’t working.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We had five learners today, one of whom was new. One learners husband, Ray, also participated in class. We used a Fred Meyer ad for Listen and Point, then played “Start your own business”. Each learner decided on a type of store to own and the other learners asked questions like, “What do you sell?” and “How much does it cost?”. We ended class with the song, “Can’t Buy Me Love”.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We had another good class with the regular learners. We used Fred Meyer ads for Listen and Point, then we each described an item on the ad while the others tried to guess the item. We created ads for the businesses we created last week and asked each other questions like, “Is that on sale?”. We finished with the song, “Can’t Buy Me Love”.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We did a short alphabet practice because these learners are all advanced. Using a Target ad, we compared prices on items by saying, “this costs less than this”. We played a game of “Price is Right” using pictures cut from the Target ad. We then used a burger restaurant menu to compare prices in the US and in the learners’ home countries. We ended by practicing a Beatles song. We had one new learner tonight. Because these learners are generally pretty advanced, I need to come up with new and creative ways to challenge and engage them.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Tonight was are largest class yet, with two new learners. We practiced writing down various dollar amounts. Then, working in pairs, we wrote and acted out short shopping skits. In teams, the learners used a Target holiday gift catalogue to make a shopping list. Each team did great – selecting several items and staying within the budget. We ended class by listening, dictating, and singing “Money”, from Cabaret. As this is an advanced group, asked them what they would like to work on during our last two classes. One learner requested dialoguing around asking for help when experiencing car trouble or needing to go to a mechanic. Another wanted to talk about cooking. I think we’ll be able incorporate both in the next two weeks.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Class began five minutes late due to bad weather. We focused on GJY and BPV during Alpha Listen and Point. BPV is most challenging for these learners. After writing the title of today’s lesson, we used colored pencils and paper to illustrate the lesson title, “Count Your Blessings”. Each learner then described his or her drawing. Then, we divided into pairs to interview each other, asking questions like, “What is your favorite family holiday?” and “How do you celebrate?”. One learner brought a lovely homemade cake to share. I enjoy teaching this class and am sorry next week is the last class.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific):
We went through the Alphabet/listen and point for a bit, then moved on to the yell and spell. We spent approximately 15 minutes on the document search, then moved on to dictating recipes. Learners shared recipes they brought from home and explained after the dictation how to go through the steps. We learned how to make a black forest cake and some fish ceviche. We ended with an activity consisting of listening to a song and having the MC dictate some of the lines, then play it over again after the students wrote it down. After the class, several of the students wished the MC a happy holiday and expressed their thanks / desire to come back after the holiday break.
