This Week in NELP

Here are this weeks pictures from the NELP classes.

Here are the first graders in reading class. The first graders all turned in their winter reading and they're already doing very well on their third term reading.

The first graders are preparing for tomorrow's debate. We're using the All Japan High School English Debate format. Their proposition is: Japanese students should get work experience while in high school. I was very happy at the cooperation today. Both teams did a great job of giving speaking roles to everyone, and everyone contributed to planning for their team. They did a super job!

This week, students also began brainstorming for their final essay. For their final essay, they have to do a report on a country, not the whole country, just one part, such as food, culture, music, etc.

Here are the second graders getting ready for their own debate. Their proposition is "We should stop using disposable chopsticks." The negative team will really have their work cut out for them. Fortunately, both teams are pretty aggressive and they're all VERY hardworking. I'm so proud of my second graders!
