In-Person Session - CIES Classroom

July 21

3:00-4:00pm

Today we focused on sentence structure, specifically prepositions of place and direction and where they go in a sentence.

I started the lesson by placing a pencil on the desk and asking Morel to tell me where it was. Once he responded with "It is on the table" I began to write the sentence on the board and underline the preposition.

Then I wrote a list of prepositions on the white board and we went over what each one meant. This was done by using objects in the classroom as an example. I also showed Morel a graphic that had different pictures using a variety of prepositions.

After that I wrote a sentence on the board and had Morel tell me where the subject, verb, preposition, and object were. Then I wrote a few example sentences on the board.

Next, I did a guided practice activity. I provided Morel with a word bank for subjects, verbs, prepositions, and objects. Using these words he wrote 5 sentences. After he was done, I had him read his sentences aloud and I wrote them down to correct them.

Finally, I showed him a variety of photos and had him verbally describe what he saw in the photo, ex : "The women is in front of the table".

  Date: 8/26/25 Location: Zoom Topic/Skill: Listening and reading comprehension Feedback: This was a listening and reading comprehension activity inspired by Jean’s lesson. I talked with Hyobin about some American traditions surrounding the 4th of July. She told me about her experiences with it, which got her engaged in the topic of the content for the lesson. We watched a Crash Course video on the 4th of July, then she read the script for it, and then she did a comprehension quiz. I gave her feedback on her answers at the end, and we left some more time for discussion about other parts of American culture. Lessons learned: Having a variety of learning media is a great way to mix up the classroom. The warm-up discussion got Hyobin interested, the video solidified her interest and entertained her, and the script kept her focused.

  Date: 8/27/25 Location: Zoom Topic/Skill: Creative writing Feedback: Essay writing isn’t the only kind of writing, so I decided to teach Hyobin a bit about creative writing. She has a pretty active imagination, so we talked about how she could implement that into writing. We talked about some creative topics and then discussed each to see how creative we could get. I then had her try out some writing of her own, which I gave feedback on after.  Lessons learned: I learned it’s good to throw in some topics of interest to keep students engaged. Hyobin mentioned she liked writing, and I knew creative writing was something that could combine interests with an educational opportunity. I asked her how the lesson was, and the response was positive (proving my thoughts correct).

Date: 8/14/25 Location: Zoom Topic/Skill: Writing practice Feedback: In this session, I had Hyobin write an essay based on the sources she read in the previous session and the outline she came up with. Most of the session was dedicated to this, but I would give her feedback throughout when she brought questions to my attention. At the end, we had a few minutes for discussion, where I was able to give feedback as well. Lessons learned: I think I needed to give more time for writing, because expecting a lengthy essay isn’t entirely possible for a 1-hour session. We ended up needing to give more time to writing in the next session.
