LOOKING FORWARD to MAY
Happy Memorial Day Weekend
On Tuesday I began to teach online. I use a word game called Taboo. The objective of the game is for a player to have their partners guess the word on the player's card without using the word itself or five additional words listed on the card. I help international students build their vocabulary on a Tandem language app.
On Thursday, I performed in Improv-a Go-Go with our accessibility and inclusion team. We had 10 performers with disabilities on stage. A common theme seemed to be platypi. These small animals were dictators and falling from the sky. Pretty soon they were everywhere, which made for funny comedy
On Friday, I had the maintenance come and fix a curtain rod, which was impossible for me to fix, and a flat tire on my son‘s bicycle.. it had been a very busy week, and on Tuesday I deleted a different type of work out at the Eagan YMCA, where you lift weights to cardio music, and occasionally do Barbies and lunges.

The teaching you're doing sounds fun and interesting.
ReplyDeleteI love that idea of Taboo for teaching that way. Sounds like a busy week. Hope you're having a nice weekend! Thanks for visiting me earlier at Lisa Loves Literature.
ReplyDeleteTaboo is a fantastic game and it's changed my life, sometimes I'll use scribblio as well.
DeleteVocabulary is really the most challenging part of language learning, in my limited experience. Playing games would help. I also try to read and look up the unknowns.

I think playing Taboo is a great way to try to learn vocabulary in another language. Fun!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm always open to other games, so let me know:)
DeleteSounds like you are a great teacher!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a wonderful reading week
Thanks Shelly, I think we all do our small part.
