Nouns!

And words cannot describe what an awesome, awesome experience it has been thus far... so hopefully some nouns will do!

The noun lesson is one we have been working on since I arrived, and one I continually return to in order to accommodate the varieties of English comprehension in the class. We began with filling an alphabet's worth of words, and then learned specifically about transportation nouns. My 7 am class of advanced beginners usually has about nine students, and they graciously allowed me to photograph their excellent work.

People/Place/Thing is one of their favorite games; I use cut-out pictures from magazines (thanks Becky!) or the daily newspaper and ask them to identify. We then talk about each picture for a bit, identify specific nouns and sometimes try to use them in sentences. I asked them to replicate this with their own artistic skills, drawing one "people", one "place" and one "thing".

I will have to echo this post later with more of their excellent noun pictures!
