Words this week:
Montag
On Monday, my first class had to fill in a gap fill by listening to a tape of the complete text. The text was a conversation between a hairdresser and their client. Then, the students had to pair up and go through the conversation themselves, as if they were in that situation. In my second lesson, four groups had four different cartoons about school shootings. They had to write their own interpretations of the cartoons and present them to the class.
Dienstag
In the first lesson, they were doing what they did last week.They had a mediation exercise, two reading exercises and flash cards to put vocab on to learn at home. They could also talk to me and discuss how to "Englishise" their essays. In the second lesson they were doing a lesson that I planned. I made an interactive presentation. The theme was "New York vs London". On the slides were pictures of landmarks from either New York or London and with it either a task or a video to watch. They seemed to enjoy it and the teacher was very grateful to me (it took me a while).
Mittwoch
In the first lesson, the teacher decided to split the group in two. I took the stronger students and we had to discuss the pros and cons of a) putting your grandparent in a nursing home b) leaving them at home c) having them move in with their son/daughter. Then I went to a lesson where I wasn't due at but the teacher asked me to go and because I was free I obliged. It was the same class as yesterday and I just had to supervise them going through the presentation. In the next class, they had to do some grammar. They learned how to ask questions in the past and present tense.
Donnerstag
In my first lesson I was with a new class. They were a group who are studying to become social workers, so their English was based on looking after children who might be abused/bullied. They had to come up with ways to address the situation and the pros/cons of their approach. It was really interesting. I didn't have to go to my second lesson because they were going to the cinema (thanks for the invite). My Nachhilfe student showed up and I just went through more of the past tense with him.
Freitag
I did my weekly shop and cleaned the house. Then later on I had to go to a family home to discuss giving Nachhilfe to a woman's son. It took me two bus rides, but they offered me tea and cake and the meeting went well. She dropped me home and I ordered a pizza and watched All Stars 3.
Samstag
I had to go to the shop again because I forgot some things. Then on the evening I went to said family home again because she wanted me to start immediately with the Nachhilfe. So I went there for two hours, got home about nine and just had chicken nuggets for tea while watching Germann Pop Idol.
Sonntag
I did literally nothing today. I did two hours of yoga, made a lovely vegetable curry, had a bath, now I'm here.
Sorry if my writing seems boring this week. I've had several people tell me my writing's crap this week, so I'm not feeling all the creative. I'll feel better next week. Have a good one!
