Class theme/topics discussed:
READING PRACTICE
How did you pick this theme or topic? n/a
How did you present the material? (handouts, group work, general discussion, student presentations, etc.)
Handout with communicative exercises.
How did students react?
Only one student showed up for class, so I had to change my initial lesson plan.
She is a heritage speaker with low language proficiency, and she has never had any formal instruction in reading. She does not feel comfortable with reading in class when other students are present, so this time, when it was only her and me, we decided to practice reading.
I gave her a short simple text, she read it out loud. I was giving the necessary explanations in the course of reading, writing the basic rules on the board.
