So I haven’t been on here for about a week and I got have a week to go before I ship out of here. So I thought that the title was appropriate. 🙂
But the reason that I haven’t posted on here in a while: it get’s hard to think of things to post about. Truth be told, I do think of things to write about but when it comes time to actually sit down and start typing, poof! It’s gone. It truly is a sad thing that has happens.
So anyway, like I mentioned, I have about one week before I leave. Unfortunately for me, I am getting more worried as the days go on. When I tell people that, they usually mentioned the phrase culture shock. Thankfully that isn’t the case in my scenario. I have lived though culture shock with many different nationalities and races before when I was on my mission in England.
Nah, that is not what I am worried about. What I am worried about is the teaching situation. The honest truth that scares me is that I don’t have a flippin’ clue of what to do while I am teaching. The China Horizon program that I am using for all of this has told all of us that we need to be preparing lesson plans but they haven’t told what exactly were are teaching!
But hey, on the flip side, I do make looking like a dork a graceful thing. So does one have any ideas? All that they have told us is that we are going to be teaching kids that have decent English skills ‘conversational English.’ What that means, I don’t have a clue but from what I have read on other’s blogs who have done the program teaching them songs and phrases. Activities and games seem to be a popular method for this.
So… if you have any ideas, please let me know. I’ll bake you a cookie. 🙂
