Today for 6th period at the beginning of the class, we did the calendar as usual.  After that, we learned some words about snow that we learned yesterday for 1st and 2nd periods 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 PQA to familiar with the words. Next we used the whiteboard activities to practice these words and making a little bit sentences. For example, Gage 跟Lady Gaga坐雪橇。Stuart對Gage丟雪球。etc. And then we played a standing-up game with the words. Each student was assigned one Chinese word; when the student heard the word said by the teacher which matched his /her assigned word, he/she had to stand up and yelled its English meaing at the same time. Later than that, students were asked to stand up once they heard any word and yelled out its English meaing. The student who yelled the correct English meaning and was the fastest one received 1pt extra for their participation.
