For April 8, Monday – B Day, Chinese Level I (5th and 6th periods),

 1) please show them the video and ask students to copy down the words and sentences while they are listening. You may need to pause the video for a couple of minutes for students to copy and then continue to play it.

 2) After they watch the video for 1st time, please replay it again, and this time no pause, just let them listen watch the words and listen.

 3) After the 2nd time watch the video, this time ask them to repeat aloud after the words and sentences after me in the video. (You may need to pause at the words and/or at sentences to give students time to repeat after me.)

4) Give the students 10-15 minutes to study the words and then give them half sheet lined-paper each and let them do the following quiz. (I didn’t print them out.) Quiz - please write the English meaning to each word.

1. 老師lǎo shī

三月二十八日星期四- March 28, Thursday- B Day

FOR CHINESE LEVEL I ABSENT STUDENTS- 1) please copy down the new words onto your notes and show the teacher your notes; 2) come in to make up the quiz.

Today for Chinese Level I we learned the following new words-

玩拼圖 wán pīn tú = to play puzzles

打掃dǎ sǎo  = to clean

**extension words (that students asked to know)

好玩 hǎo wán= have fun
花好多時間 huā hǎo duō shí jiān= spend lots of time

We used small whiteboard and the ribbon game to practice the words. After the practice we watched a powerpoint (through a Reading A-Z book named Carlos and his teacher Carlos和他的老師; due to the copyright issue, I am not able to post the powrpoint online at this moment until I receive their response and permission about the copyright ) At the end of the classroom we did a 7-words quiz. And it seems more than 80% of students get 80% right.

And then the last person of the row has to run to the teacher and ask the teacher 開車的英文怎麼說kāi chē de yīng wén zěn me shuō? The 1st one who runs to the teacher and asks the question receives two points for their row; other rows who are not the fastest one still come to the teacher and asks her the question to receive 1 pt for their row. We continued the game with different words like
 載zǎi 的英文怎麼說 de yīng wén zěn me shuō?
中學zhōng xué的英文怎麼說de yīng wén zěn me shuō?

And then we used questions like ..
The teacher asked the 1st person the question - 恐龍博物館怎麼走? kǒng lóng bó wù guǎn zěn me zǒu ? And the 2nd person answered the question; next the person asked the 3rd person the same question....After we practiced all the words and sentences, we did a quick quiz with these six words.

Next we acted out a story about Jet Li. --

After we acted out the story, we asked TPR circling questions, and of course, we also used the "Ribbon game" again to let everyone have the chance to practice speaking about the story.
