Of course, after we did calendar introduction we reviewed the words learned last time. Next we introduced the new words with TPR/ASL. We did the charade games as pairs. And then instead of using small whiteboards we used a sheet of paper and folded it into 16 boxes and students were asked to write down pinyin, Chinese characters and its English meaning according to what they heard from the teacher. After that we did the ribbon game.

For Chinese Level II and III, we first watched a video and then students were asked to write what they watch in the video. We talked about the words they might not be familiar with such as 單節棍 雙節棍 三節棍 骷顱頭 忍者 舞者etc. Next we llearn the words 醫生 護士 覺得 不舒服 生病了. they used the Ipads BetterChinese app to practice their listening and reading skills on Lesson 8-10 for the last 30 minutes.
