English Camp Sleep Over

Yesterday and today was the English Camp Sleep Over!

A few weeks ago, I was asked if I could help out with an English Boot Camp, Mori-Dai was running with the idea that everyone was expected to only speak in English.
After that, about one week ago Terui-san, the English teacher, asked if I would be willing to run the teaching part of it. I have done a few things like this before, but nothing for this amount of material in such a short time. Normally if I’m teaching, I just make enough materials for 2 hours for the first day, and then see what level everyone is at.
This time I wouldn’t be able to do that. I would have to do one class then ten minutes later do the next class. I spend a lot of time thinking up ideas that would be fun for everyone regardless of their English level.

Anyways, I make up all the materials, and then found that one of other English teachers from the High school was going take 2 hours of the classes.
It was really nice of him!! Two hours less of worry. ^_____^

Always, with the help of the other international students and Japanese helpers, I was able to get some really good lesson ideas and suggestions on how I could make the ones I already make even better! Cael ran the Doge ball game and Jennifer came up with a good idea for the matching game I was planning.

Anyways, the camp was a huge success and everyone had a good time!
