The Great Sandwich Boat Wreck


Session Activity- Ask for different forms of known verbs
Item Produced- 2 verbs, Boating stories, the time the guy wrecked the boat eating a sandwich
Summary-Grammar just does not work 
Linguistic Effective- Having the worksheet of verbs to ask helped
Linguistic Ineffective- this whole grided out grammar testing method is too culturally vapid to be effective in this conversational language learning setting
Linguistic Provisional Improvements-  Maybe for challenge two just have 3 different days with 3 different charts that just need to be filled verbatim, without a big hoopla about learning different ways to do it
Cultural Effective-  boats run, boats ran, boats running
Cultural Ineffective- the grammar is alienating my speaker!
Cultural Provisional Improvements- more conversational
Tomorrow-
