I have a sub today and this is the sub plan.
For Chinese Level I,
1. please distribute each student a piece of lined paper (it's on the top of the steel cabinet). Please group students into groups of 2 or 3, and assign each group one of the following topics - food, sports, subjects, leisure activities, countries, clothing, transportation, season and weather, American history. If there are more groups than the topics, it's okay to assign them repeated topics.
2. Please tell the students to brainstorm what vocabulary they would like to know about the topic they are assigned and list them in English first. 10 minutes. (If students asked how many - as many as they can think of that they love to learn, at least 10 words each group - in case some students are lazy).
3. Ask the students as groups to find a dictionary or a dictionary with pictures where are on the bookshelf around the classroom and ask them to do the following task
- a. translate the English words they would love to learn into Chinese. They need to write the Chinese characters and pinyin to the English words.
- b. be prepared to teach the class 3 words from their list to their class.
- c. get 3 small whiteboards, write a word on each whiteboard with Chinese character, pinyin and English meaing.
- d. introduce the word to class.
- e. others who are not introducing the words yet need to write down the word the students introduced to them on their lined paper.
4. Students MAY use their cell phone to look up the words ONLY if they want. if students ask for using laptops in the classroom, tell them NO.
5. Have each group come up to the classroom and introduce their words.
