Week 3

Our third week of teaching was yet another learning experience both for us and our learners. To avoid this blog entry being mundane and repetitive of our previous blogs, I'll attempt to skim through our routine activities, and then move on to the more exciting aspects of week 3.

We started our day similarly to the previous weeks by going over the material one more time, before our students came in. Went picked them up from the entrance. Had a pit-stop by the restrooms. Took them to class. And then took attendance.

 Next we went over a the first half of the material, which we noticed they were grasping pretty well, however it seemed that they were starting to lose interest. So we figured we'd review what we did in our first class by presenting them with a scene from the British sitcom mind your language, just to give them an idea of the relevance of what they have learned so far, in terms of learning how to introduce themselves.

After the break we had another activity lined up for our learners, where we introduced them to the concept of a family tree, also teaching them the vocabulary associated with the topic. And eventually we asked each one of them to draw their own family tree.

Whilst working on their family trees, one of the students, J.P, came up to use and asked us if he could limit his family tree to only his brothers and sisters because he had 17 siblings! And for him to draw an extension from each one of them would take up the entire space allocated for the activity, then he told us about his family and how he had many elder siblings who were already married and had families of their own :).

All in all our class this Saturday was amazing. However sadly we learned that one of our students was dropping out, due to the fact that he was the foreman at the camp our students came from, and he had stay back and look over things.
