Today I TAUGHT. Real students. Four of them. And you know what? It wasn’t that bad. Did I do everything right? No. Did I mess up a lot? Yep. But it went okay, overall. I think they learned something, and that’s what’s really important.

I taught “How” questions, like, “How much does it cost?” and, “How long is that scarf?” I forgot to do things like explain how the exercise was supposed to work, and demonstrate the questions and answers, and I even forgot to put the Q&A on the whiteboard!

BUT I was enthusiastic, and I really wanted the students to learn. I had the chance to meet them all before the class started, and find out about them and why they were studying English. And that made my job easier because then I knew their names and a few interests, and I was able to use that in the class.

So, overall, it went okay. Was it great? No, but it wasn’t bad, and I think pretty darn good for my first time! And you know what? My Grammy was there and she saw it all.
