• 7th Period
• Most of these classes are the same, given the syllabus.
• However for a conversation class (Gao Er) a slightly different approach is given.
• What we do is read through the article and then begin asking questions based on the material.
• These questions have several levels.
• One level is “factual” such as, “Does a pet trainer have to feed the dogs?”
• Another level is “opinion” such as, “Do you think a pet trainer is an interesting job?”
• Another level is critical thinking questions such as whether or not what the article says is true.
• Can also ask any interesting question surrounding the material.

In these kinds of classes, we invariably break into partners and groups to practice conversation techniques and demonstrate conversations in front of the class. Some small emphasis is placed on rhetorical devices such as “What about you?” and so forth.
