December 13, Tuesday 十二月十三日星期二 - A

It's snowing. 下雪了!!Today for 1st and 2nd periods we learned some words about snow  such as 冬天、下雪天、雪花、冰雕、堆雪人、雪橇、扔、丟、雪球、滑雪、鏟雪、打雪仗。(To know each word's Chinese meaning, just highlight the Chinese character, click "ctr + c" paste the character to the website listed on the right top of this webpage the Chinese-English Online Dictionary). We used TPR commands to learn these words and we played 老師說(Simmon Says) to review and/or assess students' knowledge about these words. Next, we used whiteboard activities to practice these words and making a little bit sentences. After practicing on the small whiteboard, students were given 8 index cards. They cut the 8 index cards half into 16 cards, and write the following words on each card; one word a card (just Chinese characters only, no English meaning neither pinyin)  - 冬、天、下、雪、花、冰、雕、堆、人、橇、扔、丟、球、滑、鏟、打、仗. After students have done making the cards, they picked up the cards according to what they heard from the teacher.

Today at 3rd period, after the calendar activity, the teacher introduced the following words with TPR commands- 一頭、一棟、一個、一天、都、有錢、沒有錢。We also reviewed the words learned last time, 学校、老师、学生。After introducing these words with TPRS, we played a little bit Simon says (老師說) to review the words and then we used small whiteboard to practice these words. Next students worked together on copying down the story on page 46 and translating it sentence by sentence. (To view the story please see the blog of December 12, Monday for 6th period. ) After we corrected all the translated sentences, students read the story to their partner within 1 min, 45 seconds, and 30 seconds.
