Students Could Be Their Own Teachers

In today's remedial classes, instead of guiding the students to figure out the missing words in an article from Book 4, I had them do group discussion. They had to put away their textbook, focus on their handout in which is the article with 46 blanks, and come up with the answers on their own, with the help of the context.

An Assignment

Today when we reviewed the word "embrace" in Unit 4 of Book 4, I gave Remedial Class A an assignment--giving their parents a hug this evening and telling me about their parents' response tomorrow. Sounds crazy? An idea from "The Girl in the Fifth Row."

A Happy Reunion




 

Yesterday evening, I had a reunion with my former 303 students, Alex, Spencer, and Wei-yi. They graduated from NHSH four years ago and this year they graduated from NTU or NTNU. We have stayed in touch over the past four years, seeing each other almost every semester. Now Alex is going to join the army, Spencer to Japan to study as an exchange student, and Wei-yi to study in graduate school. Wish them good luck!
