English Experts

   by Aaron Reiss
I’ve been doing a weekly activity I call English Experts which has been working out really well. Each Friday 2 new students are assigned two new words, they have the weekend to find the definition, pronunciation, part of speech, and two example sentences. Then they present first thing Monday and play teacher (“repeat after me” “are there any questions?” deng, deng). Then, the other two days, they have to bring their book and any other materials from their other English class and come early to tell me and show me what they’re learning there. It gives me one on one time and clues me into what else they are learning so I can use and reference it. They’re like little spies.
