well... the inevitable happened!!! I finally had to enter the classroom and teach!!!! Still working on articles, even though RR says it's phrasal verbs... I just don't want to leave the old project!!!
Chose to start off with slang words... poor things. I don't know if they got much from the class but I tried to make it a little interesting for them. I did up some cards for them to match, they liked that and then finished the lesson off with a quick game. I YELLED out the English phrase and each team had to hold up the slang phrase that matched... they enjoyed that... helped to work out some frustrations also. We covered slang in a classroom environment. Here's a picture of the cards I used.... they had to match them for part of the class. I had intended to have them each read the dialogue first in regular English, then in slang, then in slang as it is spoken... but didn't have time for that... only time for a quick game of each team matching the slang to the English phrase.
( oh. I wore my heels.. the clicking on the floor as I walked around made me feel important!! Ha)
