It was a good, if energetic Monday. For some unknown reason, the students were a bit more enthusiastic than normal. One class was so chatty that I had to ask a student to leave.
I never cease to be amazed by what topics cause the students to almost riot from excitement. This week’s topic? Jobs and job interview tips. We discuss what kinds of jobs the students would like to have, what types of questions interviewers might ask, if a job is good for happiness or money (or both), listen to CCR’s version of Proud Mary, do an activity where the students must come up with jobs that start with every letter of the alphabet (architect, banker, cook, etc.), and watch a short video about interview tips.
Though it was a bit of a challenge to keep the students’ energy flowing in a positive direction, I was happy to discover that they enjoyed the week’s topic. Maybe they like the practicality of the lesson. I’m interested to see how the rest of the sessions play out.
