Post lesson notes

I was very, very happy with this class! I think this one was the most exciting, most well-prepared, most cooperative, and smoothest one I've had so far. I had nine students and we had a lot of fun during the different competitive games, and they all seemed very willing to learn the words and phrases. I managed to get through everything with perfect timing as well as get the students to practice the vocab and grammar sufficiently.

Students who attended *I passed a sign-up sheet around, but I realized it was never handed back to me. I had 9 students, all of whom were wonderful. There were three school girls who seemed to enjoy themselves a lot, and the rest were women ranging from 30 to 50 years. Everyone cooperated, worked with each other, and got a chance to talk and come up to the board. Name Student Name
