Chinese Level III November 12, 2014 Wednesday

Last time students wrote a story with "mai yifu" and I read all the storied students wrote and made some comments. We talked about the stories a little bit first. After the discussion on students' stories, we first reviewed the old words and then introduced the new words. After introducing the new words we paired up the students; a student with an ipad and the other with a paper which was folded into 8 boxes. (it is like small whiteboard activity but we instead of using whiteboards we used ipad and paper.) Students listened to what they heard and wrote down Chinese characters, pinyin, English meaning, and draw pictures to it. Every 4 words we switched the ipad and the paper in pairs. Later the teacher told a story and students drew pictures to what they heard and translated the story into English. At the end we did the quiz.
