May 10, Thursday 五月十日星期四 - A Day

For 1st period, we practiced three sentence patterns 1) 雖然....,但是......, 2) 比起..(A).., .(B)...比較 .(adj).., .3) ...(A) ..比起. (B)... ....(adj)..多了.
First I gave examples, and then students created their sentences with these words. The volunteers came up to the board to write their sentences down. Later students were asked to introduce their community in at least 200 words ( in pinyin) within 20 minutes. Those who were done their writing first, they came to get an article, and read and answered the questions.



Too bad that we didn't have enough time to do time reading for the 1st period. Well, let me mention one more. It take at least 1.5 hours to create an article like with verticle Chinese and horizontal English. I did the pronunication horizontal one by one. Yup, it takes effort but it's great to hear students saying it's easier and clearer, and it helps them recognize Chinese easier. 2nd period did the same as 1st period. For 3rd period students, after students copied down the reviewing words on the board, I specifically write 我 找 買 賣 人 大 太 天 and asked the similiarities and differences. Students were asked to write 13 sentences with different words taught in class and came up to the board to share their sentences. Later we used TPRStorytelling cycling questions. I read and the volunteer students translated (orally) sentence by sentence. Students may choose to do the time-writing or time-reading activity. They chose to do time-reading, and we did well.
