23: Thursday

I really enjoyed my English class today.  We talked about global warming which was a topic that Matte said that she didn’t know that much about.  So I was a big help today.  Matte also talked about how having me in the classroom made her be more careful with English and making sure that she was speaking grammatically correct.  We will continue to talk about global warming for the next week.

The other thing that I liked about Matte’s class is that it was more typical of an American classroom.  It didn’t seem that there were students that were goofing off during instruction.  Matte also waited for the students to quiet down before she started to teach.  She demanded their attention and because she demanded they gave her their attention.  I thought it was interesting how much different the students are given a different teacher because the students aren’t very different given a different subject from the same teacher.
