Dear Sarah:
I feel not better in this class for the arrangement, because the time is very limited only 40 minutes, average each issue takes 20 minutes, i feel not ennough time to go throuth the whole issues.
I realize the key part for the textbook recommended by you is the "express yourself", in this part student can express his own thoughts and ideas reference to the textbook. this class I have no time and chance to practice it.
So, I would adjust the arrangement as follows and would like your comments:
Only one issue for 40 minutes:
1. Greetings and some living things to share 2-3 minutes
2. 5 minutse to read the article and new words (including correcting pronouciation) - befotre the class i will pre-read the article several times to shorten the progress.
3. Comprehension to the text: 3 - 5 minutes
4. Express yourself: 15-20 one by one or alternatives reference to Opinion Samples
5. Others: left time - conclusion or usefull expressions
I look forward to your feedback!
Best Regards,
Larry Cui
