prac day 2

Class was great! As expected. Although, the laid back causal style of the gold coast would definitely NOT fly in melbs. We spent a good 15 minutes talking about drugs and drug laws and how stupid they are. In a language class. But, as long as the students are speaking English, what more can you ask for? Haha
I taught a 1 hour conversation class on my first full day! Eek….I was totally thrown into it. One of the teachers had made an appoitment and there was no one else to do it, when they asked if I wanted to I couldn’t really say no. It was awesome though! It went really well. I gave the students a topic, they discussed it in groups for about 20-25 mintues and then we debated it as a class for another 25-30 minutes….conversation class…check!
Tonight I had another looooong class…it’s 4 hours! I planned for 2 hours of it. I think I over did it a bit, although I’d rather challenge the students then have them be bored. To unwind at the end I had them listen to Let it Be I had created a sheet with the lyrics, taken a few words out in each stanza and then they had to listen for the words. They all knew the song, so it wasn’t too hard, but just hard enough =) Busy busy day two =)
