Divide and conquer
We packed the boys up after class and took them to a cafe so they could debrief their experience and process what went well, how they could improve, and talk about their goals as well as what they had learned from their first day teaching. While they enjoyed some snacks and milk shakes, they made some illuminating comments like: "Teaching was incredibly hard!", "the students did not like sitting around, they like more interactive classes", "we were able to keep their attention for about 45 minutes and then they started losing focus", "we worked well together", "everything went well until we started winging it", "we didn't have enough planned", "they knew more than we thought they would".With such a solid start to their community service, the boys were so excited that they all used their free time in the afternoon to go back to the hotel patio to plan for tomorrow.
Tomorrow the boys have some free time in the morning before they teach in the afternoon.
