= Teacher's Meetings * 113 Spring Semester == Notes It seems that very few teachers actually come and talk to me on Tuesdays. However, some occasionally do. Often I write their notes directly into the classroom page, but some notes I will record here. == March 27 I met with Stanley who gave me some advice based on student feedback. === Gao Er Yi * They are an advanced class so they don't always need to study directly from the magazine. * They want to learn more about English Composition. ** What comes to mind is the JLPT lesson on compositions ('hobbies') from the book. * They can also practice describing objects, photos, etc. for 30, 60, and 90 seconds. ** This is a test component of IELTS (and GEPT advanced IIRC). * Can extend into essay writing after compositions. === Gao Yi Yi There has been talk of a collaborative presentation with another school. We will take time to write 'pen pal letters' to the other students in the class (in Moldova, for example) introducing themselves and asking questions. === Gao San Li * They have asked for help in creating power point presentations. * What makes a good PPT? What is expected? * University Interview english. academic english for 'introducing' or presenting during an applications interview. Notes in general: Jeff has requested, especially for Gao San Li, that every student be given a role in the presentation. Some students are not announcing or not doing very much work and it is concerning that they are slipping through. Key-- Even if you are nervous, coming up here and 'trying' is the most important step. It's like a story about my sister eating mushrooms for the first time, 'Green eggs and ham'?
