五月二日星期四 May 2nd, Thursday - B Day

For the students who are absent - We learned the following words.
下大雨xià dà yǔ = it rains hard
現在xiàn zài  = now
一張床yī zhāng chuáng = one bed
睡覺shuì jiào = sleep
在樹上zài shù shàng= in tree/on the tree
身上都是水shēn shàng dōu shì shuǐ = water all over the body

We first used ASL/TPR strategy to introduce the words and then we played ribbon game in paper.

First, students folded a piece of paper into half, and one side for Chinese, and the other side for English. And write down number 1-6 in vertical on the left edge of the paper.
Second, students worked as a group of 6 and assigned a number 1-5 in the group. And write down the assigned number in Chinese on the right top corner.
Third, students created a sentence with a new word, and after they're done then pass their paper to the next number student. The next number student has to translate the sentence that created by the student before and then create another sentence with another new word and then after they are done pass it to the next number student. Continue the steps until all the words are created.
Forth, after all the new words are done and the paper should be returned to the owner. The owner student has to check if the translation is correct or not.

For 6th period students we acted out the story first and then we read the story later.

Next, we read the story on page 49 on the textbook; the teacher read aloud word by word and the students chorally responded in English and then the teacher read aloud sentence by sentence and the students chorally responded in English. And then we used TPRStorytelling questioning to ask students the story for comprehension, listening, and speaking skills.

At the end of class, we watched the video named 蠟筆小新- 下雨接人  and explained to students how to do their homework assignment.
