I observed a level 2 grammar class with Olivia James. She started the class by making students share one thing they learned from last class. Their previous lesson was about the history of Tallahassee. She compiled a list on the board of what everyone learned. She went over some irregular/regular simple past tense verbs. Next, she played an animated movie that was directed by an FSU alum. The movie was about a little girl telling a story about a bear in past tense. After each sentence, she would pause and ask the class to recognize the past tense verb. She started a list of all the verbs used in the movie. This was a great way for class participation. She would ask students who were more ahead to help the students who seemed stumped at recognizing the verbs. Everyone participated in the movie activity. It was fun to see students shout out the verbs because they were excited they could recognized them.
