Editing ESL/ESL class summaries and lesson plans (section)

== Wed Oct 30 ==

* Handed out the pre-assessment as students came in and reviewed individually and as a class
* Used example job posting online that students filled out. 
** goal to evaluate any gaps with filling out forms and reading the instructions
*** circle one of the below, write your email etc.:  no issues
* had students stand up and introduce themselves to each other in English 
** and practice asking each other about the fields on the form.
*** instructors listened and asked students questions. 
**** Students did very well. 
**** When asked to spell their email address or the street they a few got some of the letters mixed up that make the same sounds in both English and Spanish (E -> A and I -> E). Would be worth reviewing in a future class.
* We ended class with the "Hail Mary"
* Edwin pointed out after class     that not all students speak Spanish. One of our basic level students spoke     the native language of the country he was from. Something to keep in mind     if we try to explain something in Spanish. I'll try asking each student if     they speak Spanish next week.

Next week includes:

* grammar rules, like conjugating "to be" in the present tense.
