The suspense today was ridonkulous. First off, I had my first lesson today with Korean kids that are attending an English immersion camp here on campus. My plan was about proverbs and I went through all this work to write a lesson that I thought would synthesize fun time and worksheets. Yeah, it was a bust. The kids were so reserved and didn't want to answer a single question I asked. I thought it was because they couldn't understand me. So I slowed down and enunciated well, but they still were stone-walling me. I struggled through the 45 minute period and by the end was kicking my own ass for not energizing them enough beforehand.
But my observing teacher gave me some pointers afterward and told me where I went wrong. Thank god, I had some practice time. Some of it was just the simple fact that they are always intimidated to speak to guest teachers.
Anyway, that was all after the fact I found out where I'll be for the next year. Yeah, for those of you who knew what I wanted... I got it... I got all my wishes granted. I'm headed to Jeju-do.
