English Club Week 1 - "Ring, String, and Raise" |
This week we taught the 9th form as well as the 7th form and it was a bit harder because the grammar is more complex. We were working to explain it to ourselves let alone a Ukrainian only using English. We were then told just to make examples and not even try to explain it, which reminded me of my our high school grammar experiences. We also had our second English Club this week and went with the theme Seasons as it had snowed for the first time this past week. I made a Simon says action game with Fall words that turned out surprisingly well. We are hanging strong with attendance being around 10 and filled with a bunch of lovely 6th form girls. Last week I used a game a stole from my mom where everyone holds onto a string tied to ring and together try to raise it with an object on the ring, my goal was to have the students only use English words to raise the ring and when the spoke Ukrainian I would shake my string and ask if that's what they had told me to do because I couldn't understand when they spoke Ukrainian. The German teacher quickly identified this as a team work game with and English language twist.
We head of to Kiev this week and then a visit to our permanent sites! Wish me luck!
