Day of Ice

It was so cold. We changed into ski clothes and got the ski board.

My mom thought Level one has too many people, so she took me to Level 2.  she always slip on her butt, so I’ve got to ski between my mom’s legs. I hate it. I mean, it’s fun. You got to come. I learned how to slip on the butt. First you got to go on the snow hill, next, you’ve got to lean forward, if you are not careful, you bump on something and then you will fall on your butt. Mom bought 双子票。My mom skies very good. She skied on her own for once and I was waiting for her at the bottom by the net. I asked she why it took her that long time and she said the line was long. The best time to go to ski is summer, because its too hot outside and you are like going to a refrigerator.

Journey to the West (3/13-3/19/2017)

3/14/2017 Flying to Las Vegas

After mommy picked me up at the after-school, we went back home. The taxi driver got to our house at eight o’clock. The cool thing was that he could say “Nihao” (hello in Chinese). We were 1 hour early when we got to the airport. Before my mom found the gate to board, I  saw it was Gate 18 on the board “from Chicago to Las Vegas”. I brought my iPad, so I played Chinese character games and piano. I slept for two hours in the airplane.

3/15/2017 Hotels
At morning we went to Bellagio. It was a hotel. I got thirsty. Nevada was a desert, and desert doesn’t have much water. Mommy  bought me a water at Starbucks, she bought herself a coffee. We went to Egyptian hotel to find daddy. My mom’s just phone run out of battery! I said "mom, I was just about to play on the phone".  Our hotel is called "Treasure Island".  After we swam in the hotel's pool in the afternoon, we had buffet in Hotel Mirage. I still like pizza the best. I saw Disney characters on the street at night.

  

3/16/2017 Hoover Dam and Meteor hole

We saw the electricity palace  at Hoover Dam (da ba in Chinese). It makes electricity from the water. It's kind of magic. It's cool, eh?  Me and my daddy were playing a fun game at the Visitor Center. Daddy chose a comet and  tried to destroy the earth. I'm lazy today;-)

3/16/2017 Sedona

I saw a church. We went up there and I lighted a candle. I also did yoga with my mom in the mountains. At dinner, I had Thai food.

3/18/2017 Grand Canyon National Park

This morning I was playing mining with my new friends. Then we had to leave for breakfast.

My friends said they were going to the canyon, so after we were all done with eating, we went to see the view too, but I didn’t see my friends. So I pick up sticks to dig fossils when I see friends.

There r many fossils in the Grand Canyon because there were a lot of animals. It’s the most diverse planets among all the national parks. There  not a lot of plants over in the desert. Daddy also used a binocular to teach me about constellation.

We ate breakfast at an old hotel’s restaurant. I heard it was built in 1930s.  We were eating by the Grand Canyon. I was going to order bacon, but the mistake was it actually came as pork sausage.  Mommy bought an activity book about constellations.

 Then we went to the geology museum. We saw how the Grand Canyon was formed. I can’t tell how it was made because it took too long time. I will tell u 3 things I learned. 1. Many animals lived there; 2. On the bumpy side you can find a lot of fossils; 3. The bottom of the canyon is older than the top.

I saw a painter in the tower of Desert View.  He was drawing an old native Indian lady. On the top of the tower, I used the binocular to see the whole canyon. I saw a bridge on the Colorado River. I’ve heard a lot of people died there because the mountain was slippery and they drawn in the flood.

We left the National Park. After a while, we got to Little Colorado River. My mom was scared and she didn’t want me to go down there, even I was not afraid. 

Daddy lost track where we were going.  Mommy wanted to go to the desert and take pictures. When she got down the car, daddy gave a dead animal’s bone, she ran back in the car. I came out and touched it too. I even saw its teeth. She screamed and said “It's disgusting”.

 

3/20/2017 Red Rock State Park and Bye-bye Nevada!

Today is the day that our spring break ends.  We came back from Nevada, Arizona to Illinois. First we got out of our hotel. We took our luggage in our car. We went to Red Rock state park. They have a store, so I bought my friend something for his birthday. We bought us a rock, but it’s not a regular rock, if you get a hammer and smash it, and tada…there is emerald or gold inside. This science rock kit has a lot of rocks. It tells us how hard the rocks are.

On the way to the airport, we passed by an outlet mall. At there I ate mini hotdogs. My grandma bought me a little panda toy. By the way, she loves reading newspaper. She reads it and falls asleep. I love panda, because I’m from China, and they are cute and furry.  Next, we went to the airport. Daddy dropped us and he drove to the car rental place to return it. We went inside the airport and I saw wheelchairs. My grandpa could sit in it and I could push it. Mom just pushed a toy at my shoe, and I almost tripped. We went upstairs and found a place to sit.   There was a place called Hudson’ newsstand. I was reading a book about weapons. My mom showed the cover of a magazine and asked me who he is. He is the leader of North Korea

TEFL Lesson Plans (A Wiley Brand)

Ch2:

Helping successful language learning

In the classroom

·      Make new language relevant to leaners

·      Ensure students feel relaxed

·      Grade lessons to become progressively more challenging

·      Give students encouragement and motivation

·      Repeat language items several times so that they’re truly learnt

·      Use non-verbal communication, such as mime and facial expressions, to reinforce meaning

·      Employ regalia to clarify meaning and crate interest

·      Set new language within a clear context

·      Follow this order for students listen, speak, read and then write

·      Don’t correct every single mistake, which inhibits communication, but correct select ones to help students improve

·      Make sure students know the grammatical principles of the language in order to construct sentences

·      Teach culture, language and content together

Outside the classroom

·      Get some good learning materials, such as a dictionary and a grammar book

·      Practice frequently

·      Read sentences or at least individual words aloud to get used to pronouncing the language

·      Try some of the same enjoyable activities in English as in their own mother tongue

·      Use memory aids such as flashcards

·      Set short-term and long-term learning goals

·      Be willing to make mistakes

Applying the silent way to your course

·      Limit Teacher talking time. Don’t always jump in when your students need a little thinking time

·      Use visual prompts in the classroom including color and shape.

·      Have useful chats on the wall

·      Remain silent while the students are working so that you can observe more. Then you’ll know their strengths and weaknesses

Allowing students to acquire, not lean, with the natural approach

Learning is very much a conscious process. You sit with a teacher and pay attention to the rules, structure and vocabulary. However, acquisition is basically picking up language, allowing the brain to do what it did naturally when you were an infant

Typically, you speak to the class about a given topic, or play an audio recording, while the students listen. Then the students do an activity based on what they’ve heard, such as filling in a gapped txt or labeling a diagram. You correct the students according to the meaning they’ve conveyed, not their grammar. Then you set a more challenging communicative activity on the topic.

·      These are some of the basic principles”

·      The main focus is communicative ability

·      Vocabulary is the most important part of the language, not grammar

·      Language is all about meaningful messages

Applying the natural approach to your course

·      Get students responding to a listening text by following a map, filling in a grid, or putting information in order?

·      If you have periods of speaking about a chosen topic, students can acquire expressions in English very naturally from you

·      Don’t over-correct students. Allow them to continue during a communicative activity for as long as they’re able to convey the right meaning (despite dodgy grammar)

·      Use closed questions before open ones. For example, give students multiple choice or yes/no questions before expecting them to be comfortable enough with the vocabulary to express and opinion

Teaching playfully with Suggestonpaedia

It’s believed in the power of both conscious and non conscious influences on the mind. The method uses carefully selected music, art, decorations, and furniture in the classroom.

·      The introduction stage

·      The concert session

·      Practice  time

·      Discussion time
