First class was great.We had our newspaper class. The boy who came to my Tues class noticed that it was the same. I told him I used the same articles for all of my classes. So he learned it twice. They liked the articles.they were really interested…they liked the pictures of the burj khalifa and strawberry crab. They did great job. One time they asked me if the story was real. All of the stories are real. One student wanted to see the strawberry crab picture again after class.
Good class. Korean teacher taught all the way up until it was time for my class so I gave them a break in my class and started 10 mins late. We finished right on time and they had to do one article for homework because we didn’t have time to finish in class. They did okay in class. They don't seem to be as interested as the other class.
3rd was okay but not good. I only have one student who actually pays attention and always does what he should. The rest don’t read, I have to beg them to write the answers and to participate. I write the answers on the board and they still spell it wrong. I had losing and scoring wrote on the board. One student wrote loseing and scoreing. I told them they didn't have an e-look at the board!. They weren’t as bad as usual but they still weren’t good. We worked up til the end of class and covered 4 pages. We have a test on Monday. They all did bad on their newspaper test. The lowest grade was a 10. The rest were around 30,40. One student made a 70. The student with the easy version of the test got a 100.
My 4th class was okay. We didn't get much accomplished. Having to give the newspaper test and spelling test takes up a lot of time. They both got the answers right on the newspaper test. The youngest student got a 100 on his spelling test. The other student got a 10. He only attempted 2 words. The only word he could spell was "fur". We learned a new set of words and they will have a test on Monday. I think next week i'm going to have 3 spelling classes so we can get caught up to where we need to be. I'm going to skip the newspaper class.
My last day of work will be Feb 26th. I have to start training my replacement on the 24th. I think I'll finish up early and give all my tests the week before and then when the new teacher comes I'll give them some short sample lessons so the teacher can watch. Then I'll wrap things up and take lots of pictures.
Its getting down to the end! Just a little over 30 days. wow.
All week I've heard people talking about Everland. They always talk in Korean. So I hear "blah blah blah Everland. Blah blah blah Everland".HAHA. The academy is taking the students out to Everland on January 30(next Saturday). They asked me if I'd like to come. Yes I would. Everland is a theme park in Seoul. I never got around to visiting it so now I will and I'll be there with my students. I think it will be a fun time.
I've been trying to keep up with American Idol. I've downloaded 3 of the 4 episodes. I couldn't download the Chicago auditions because the link was bad. I heard that a Korean American auditioned. I found his audition on Youtube. He did a good job. Shania Twain was the guest judge. I was wondering if she got a hold of whatever Paula has been on! She was crazy! And she kept making tons of innuendos.
I really hope they come somewhere near me this year. This would be my last year to audition. I'd really like to try out again.
