TP Session 12 – 2/18/2015
I met Young-Seo again on Saturday, and had a rather
productive lesson, despite her being a bit distracted. We talked for a little
while about her day, and about school. We then started writing practice with
the usual vocabulary review, and, as usual, she did fine. We talked a bit about
Korea and America, and how she was getting used to The U.S. We made a list of
things that people eat for lunch in Korea, and then I had her write a similar
list for America by herself.
I had decided that we should learn about the continents and
countries that day, and we found a children’s atlas that we could use. We
learned about all of the different continents and some of the countries inside
of them. There was an index in the back of the book, and she became very
interested in comparing the sizes and populations of different countries. The
countries were ordered by continent, so it was great practice for the next
activity. I wrote down the names of all of the continents, and then had her
write the name of one country from each continent under each heading. She was
pretty tired by this point, so I was kind of pulling teeth, but by the end of
it we had a country under each continent. I counted the day as a success, but
feel like I should probably make sure next time to make it a more
language-centered lesson.
