For this assignment, you’ll observe and reflect on the teaching style of one of your current teachers. Turn in your reflection no later than 11:59pm on Saturday, May 16.
Note: Keep it respectful. This is not a space for venting or criticizing harshly. Practice giving honest, but respectful and constructive feedback, like you might do when working with a teammate or group leader during volunteering.

Additionally, training 6 will be a practical experience for you all to experience teaching a second language. Please prepare with your class group (assigned at training 5) to teach a 30 min version of the intro lesson you guys talked about at training 5 (INTRO-1) to Leo’s elementary students next training - but in Chinese. The lesson should be a quick introductory lesson to yourselves, expectations/rules, plus an icebreaker. The idea is that you will be teaching in a second language to your students and you will have to figure out ways to communicate throughout the lesson.
