I just got in fresh from my teen class stint today. This one is a bit more dynamic than the one I tried last year. I started calm with the first ones in class but it got messed up when the C group showed up. There goes my hope of a productive class. I had to adjust my lesson on the spot. It was a bit easier since most were of the same level except for a few. And I already prepared for the lower level.
Based from my initial class, I can probably wing it with simple conversational dialogues. I don't need to into detailed grammar but I do have to cover the vocabulary. (Note to self: translate the "Nice to meet you" things) Next, I'll also design the class flow so that it won't be that chaotic when the late comers show up. I do feel for the U group when they might want to learn but the C group is somewhat disrupting the class. I'll have to let them follow a seat plan.
I noticed that some are confused with the English alphabet so I may have to review it again. Spelling. First meeting questions. What's your name? What's you first/last name? How do you spell that? Where are you from? May need to use the projector next time. It does work.
And one more thing! I'll have to remind them of three things before I finish next time:
Respect. No phones. Speak out in English only.
I've just had KH order the book for me so I think I'll wait for a while before typing out my next LP.
I want to type some out now but I do need to rest my brain that has been suffering with headache since this morning.
