classes (for me) began yesterday.
i taught two classes yesterday, two today.
two went well, two went not so well.
i am satisfied with that.
for the older kids, i had them write their names in the middle of the paper, then in the four corners, draw different pictures.
1. their sign name. they hated me for this, because it is REALLY HARD to draw a body and a hand in a certain shape! but it was good, because i got to know them AND their names.
2. a map of ghana and the village they come from.
3. their family and names.
4. their favorite food.
it was a really good project because we could talk and get to know each other, using their drawings to fill in the language gaps.
however, the jhs1 class is one that had trouble with it.
when i asked them to draw their families, a few drew cars. one drew an airplane. when i asked them to draw their favorite food, one drew the sun. another drew a police car.
ah, ghana.
ah, deaf teenagers in ghana.

ReplyDeleteSo what ages/grades are the classes? Sounds like it was a very creative activity to get to know them.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see some udpates!!! And I love Janet and Audrey's comments. :-)
ReplyDeleteHey, I really enjoyed reading looking at your pictures and reading your stories, they all made me laugh. It sounds like you are really enjoying your PC experience. There is a project at the National Peace Corps Association called Africa Rural Connect where you can post about your experiences in Ghana. We would love for you to be involved, especially as a current PCV. Just go to http://www.AfricaRuralConnect.org. I hope to see you there. Keep up the great work!
