Show Lesson Madness

Ok, this week I had to do a show lesson in front of all my co-workers ( that's 14 foreign teachers and probably the same in chinese-english teachers.) Also my bosses watched too. Little did I know also that this show lesson would take place in the school auditorium, a big gaping room that holds more people than Taylor feild ( not really but it seemed like it when I walked in.)

I had to pick a class to teach the lesson to. I have 4 classes avalible outof the 7 classes I teach. No way will I pick my grade 4 classes because me and them are still working out some disapline issues, in which I teach them like an army commander, US Marine Corps. rules do apply. So they are out of the picture. That leaves my grade 3's whom I had last year. But who do I pick, 3A is smarter than 3B, but 3B doesn't have horrible habit of yelling out answers ( and they have my secret weapon, a girl named Samiao, who lived in Canada for 2 years and probably speaks better english than me, ho ho.) So I went with 3B, for the reasons above.

So now with everything set the children filled into the giant room and we began the lesson. I was flying solo with noone to translate for me because my chinese teaching assisant had a meeting to go to ... It all went very well, every student raised there hand for every question. The lesson was fun to it was talking about "favorites". The children loved it at one point I had a micrphone and we had our own little talk show going and all the teachers loved it, and at the end I invented a game of blackboard soccer, which the children loved and my Boss Mr.Ye loved too ( he wanted to playing the game, ho ho.)

All in all it went perfect and flawless, everyone said the loved it. Now I only have 2 more show lessons left because next week is when parents come in and watch your class. Yes, that's right 44 parents who pay 10,000 RMB for there children to learn english will be watching my every move. Well they can bring it on, ill be ready, let's just hope they are mwahahah ...
