There were some challenges that we had in our way to make the first meeting in Monday, 19 October 2009. First challenge, we didn't know yet where we can do this club, because the school had not tell us the place. But some of Martyna's students sent her an email where will the club take place, so she just told them to gather in front of the school gate.
Second challenge, suddenly in Monday afternoon, Wang Lao Shi told us that it's better to start the club on Wednesday, because they need to report any kind of gathering and meeting due to the issue of H5N1. Hehe,, that was a bit funny for me. But we told him that we've already told the students about this club, so we have to do it today. So, he gave us a meeting room to do this activity.
(the 6 first club members)And finally, we managed to hold the first meeting of our English Corner in Monday (19-10-09) at 12.45 until 13.40. There were 6 students who attended this club, but we think that it was a good start, since we didn't give proper announcement about the place. Moreover, we like a small class. We can give more quality in fewer quantity.
The first meeting is only about introduction, but we made them make a long introduction so that they have to say long sentences and use more complicated phrases. The method was that we divided them into pairs, an then each of them had to introduce themselves as their friend. It was just a simple one.
("My name is Candy...")I had quite fun. And i will prepare the next meeting (Wednesday, 21 October 2009) more seriously. We asked them to prepare a topic that they like to be told during the club, because we will learn about Public Speaking. Meanwhile, i will make a poster to announce everyone about the next meeting.
Anyway, these are our 6 first club members:
- Michael
- Sam
- Candy
- Maria
- Li Sa Tong
- She wrote her name in Chinese characters so i can't read it >.<
