四月二十三日星期二 April 23, Tuesday - A Day

For Chinese Level I absent students - #1, please copy down the words we learned today and show the teacher your notes when you come back

Today for Chinese Level I students we learned the following words -
賓館bīn guǎn = hotel
dài = to bring/to take
地方dì fāng = place
房子fáng zǐ = house
進去jìn qù = enter/go inside
and we reviewed some words
wèn = ask
shuō = say, speak
上面shàng miàn = on/on the top/ above
裡面lǐ miàn = inside
We had a student named from Univeristy of Utah come and observe our classes for these two weeks. Students asked Kevin questions. 1st period students such as Nicolette asked him questions in Chinese and did a great job but 2nd period students, instead, asked in English though. After Kevin's introduction, we used ASL (TPR) to help students to connect these words to their memory. After introducing the words, we used small whiteboard activity to practice the pinyin, the characters, and their meanings. Next we acted out a story and used the TPRStorytelling circling questions asked students the questions about the story for comprehension and listening/speaking skill practices
