After meeting with Dr. Scinicariello to review my progress so far, I have adjusted my learning plan to be more specific to what I have learned and where I want to be by the end of the semester. I have decided that I would rather focus on reading and writing rather than speaking. I want to be able to speak a little bit, but to me I find I enjoy reading and writing more so than speaking. We discussed having 5 topics of interest that we would go over with Emily and they are:
1. Greetings
2. Family
3. Food/meals/how to order in a restaurant
4. Leisure activities
5. Weather
For each of these goals I will describe the task and activity of achieving the goals.
Task: know how to greet people and introduce myself
Activity: I will learn from Emily how to properly greet people and introduce myself and will practice using the YouTalk App
Task: know how to describe my family
Activity: I will draw a picture of my family and use the vocabulary I learned from Emily to describe them
Task: know how to describe parts of a meal/what goes on the dinner table
Activity: I will learn the appropriate vocabulary from Emily and draw a dinner plate and describe the various objects. I will also use the YouTalk App to practice the new vocabulary
Task: know how to talk about things I do with my free time
Activity: Using vocabulary Emily has taught me I will draw a planner filling the days with things I like to do for fun
Task: learn how to describe the weather
Activity: I will watch YouTube clips of weather reports from Israel. I will also ask Emily to teach me some common words/phrases about weather. I will draw and describe some weather from a scene
