Sixth Meeting with my conversation partner:
April 8, 2016 in the Black Dog Cafe at Lake Ella between 1:30p.m.-2:30p.m
Charlene and I have met the second time in the Black Dog
Cafe. The weather was gorgeous. The spring was here. She paid my cafe (Thank
you! Charlene). I made a critical incident by saying “fat free milk” instead of
“skim milk” for my order. We had sat near of the indoor playground where kids
were playing. We were so occupied by our lesson plan, so we hardly paid
attention their noisy game.
We dedicated our last conversation meeting to our
teaching that will be on next Thursday, April 14. We talked about the
vocabulary of the speaking lesson plan. The level of the classroom will be high
intermediate. Charlene told me that we should give less vocabulary words to
this level of students. We went through each word and took several words out of
the list.
Our conversation was based on the meaning of words and the
story from Drew Barrymore’s book. We decided to ask students conversational
questions for expressing their thought and ideas. The story has several experiences
about how to do laundry, work at the cafe house, and live in an apartment. We
will ask to the students whether they have similar experiences. We also censored several inappropriate words
in the story. We didn’t want the students distract from these words.
