July 22 Thur- Teacher training started at 10am. As usual we walked to the Instituto for class.
Chilean words- comuna=district. Class discussion on regions in Chile.
Agenda: Lesson Demos
Lesson Plan #2 Demonstrate a section of lesson plan using materials assigned to the lesson. Class was divided into two groups. Group 1 each individual demos their lesson to group, feedback and alternatives.
Our group 2 went out to practice our demos then got coffee, it is mad cold at the Instituto (no heating, remember).
Group 1 and 2 switched, I was able to demo effectively although I expected interruptions for class management issues (my audience was too nice). Good feedback encouraged me to use these materials and music for a lesson in the future.
Almuerzo (lunch) was comprised of a cazuela (unique chilean soup) and salad. Again walk back to the Instituto for Spanish class.
Spanish class was very intersting in that Arnavik (spanish professor) gave us examples of his days teaching seconday students. In particular as to class mangement as well as the possible discipline problems that may emerge. Our conversational topics were varied according to each persons interests.
Food names: chemilico=sandwich, chacarelo= sandwich with meat, vacuna=veal or any cow meat, arrollado=pernil. Our field trip with Profe will be tomorrow at 6pm.
Our group walked back to the hostel, some would be going out dancing.
