ResponderEliminarJuly 21st. 120 mins at Sanborns. L14 intro. L14 Pr1. Did real well, explained to me how to get to places. Was very focused during the class.
ResponderEliminarJuly 24th. 80 mins. I was 15 minutes late, but she was comprehensive. (I had a fever, but never told her I didn't feel well). We did L14 Pr 2 and practice using "so". Also, Page 48 with thank you phrases. Had trouble understanding the examples (I don't know why). Maybe it's the audio, that particular audio from ETJ is not cristal clear. Did examples quite well and we finished the classs with the thank you note listening. This has to change so it becomes a reading ex3rcise rather than a listening one. Had trouble understanding the purpose of the letter, so comprehension questions are necessary here. Next class: she has to write a thank you note and we can continue with Page 49.

Left for HW the kids in Japan exercise, but eventually it can be done in class.
ResponderEliminarSep 18th. 90 minutes. At starbucks. L14 lesson summary which for some reason did OK this time (no translations at all). It made me think how important it is to go over such summary. I simply asked for examples and when necessary I gave examples so she could remember the right meaning. She agreed on taking classes with Astrid once in a while and see if they get along well.
ResponderEliminarSep 21st. 90 minutes. At starbucks. Kids in Japan exercise from L14. She did fine, but she wants to listen once more at home so she can tell us more about what happened and be able to answer the questions from the book. Next class: ready to start with L15. Good luck Astrid!!.
