And then we used ipads to practice and reviewed the content that we learned before which related to the Lesson 14- 你今天穿什麽？of Better Chinese for half an hour. And then we practiced the new words and put them together into sentences.

at the end we practice the vocabulary with vocabulary list with sheet protector on. Students were timed 3 minutes to write down the English meanings to each words. And then we timed how fast students could finish the vocab. If they couldn't finish in 3 minutes, we corrected the answer as a whole class and they studied for 1-2 minutes the vocab and then we timed writing vocab again. We repeated the steps three times at least.
Students who are able to finish the task with correct translation within the frame of 3 minutes, they need to raise their hand and said, "我好了。“ (I am done), and the teacher would tell her/him the time such as 1'02" or 2'45" etc.
Students who are struggling with time frame, after 3 minutes they had to write down how many correct answers they place, such as 21/40 or 36/40 etc.
