Chinese Level III August 27, Thursday , 2015 B Day

Today we did a much better job; students were more comfortable and confident than last time. Students came in and be seated at the bell. 1st thing they did is to copy down the words on the board.
We used TPR to introduce the words and played charade games from the teacher against students and from students against students. Afterwards, the teacher read a story aloud and students tried to figure out how much they understood. we used TPRStorytelling circling questions to check the comprehension. Later we read the following story. Again we used circling questions to check the reading comprehension.
