Wednesday Much of our morning has been spent preparing for a teacher workshop with the topic of learning strategies for engaging students in English classes. Arlis and I have several great ideas we will share--pair/share, interviewing unit, persuasive debates, interactive notebooks, four corners, exit the classroom tickets. Arlis was instrumental in this planning. I give her much credit.  Lunch was spent in a small roadside shop/home where we had the best coffee. We met the owners yesterday and ventured in again today. We told them we will be here every day for coffee. Tonight I might have supper with them. Oh yes--I bought a coca cola. It's the real thing :)  We walked around the lower grade school today and took pictures with the junior high age students. They are just as excited to say hello as anyone in  After school the boys English club met and practiced reading and sharing letters from American students as the girls did yesterday. Then the boys performed a song and drum music for us. All the boys joined in.  The problem has been lack of Internet connection. This means we post when we can.
