We made it!
The purpose of
session 1 is to help my students and their Japanese counterparts from Tokyo Metropolitan Tama High School of Science and Technology get to know
each other and also prepare for the following group presentation sessions about
some shared issues. Collaborative lesson planning is instrumental in making it
happen, so I've closely with my partners, Toshi and Rhi, developed lesson plans, worksheets, and a
checklist. Prior to this session, we went over some details of equipment and
step-by-step procedures.
Well, It’s quite
demanding but definitely rewarding as well when seeing my students speaking and
listening to a lot of English attentively. On top of that, two classrooms were
virtually connected, with students from both sides so engaged throughout the
whole session. My partner also told me that four other colleges of his came to
participate and said many good things about the session. What a pleasant
surprise!
