The period between Golden Week and the first set of tests was the perfect time to practice writing in past tense. All the 2nd and 3rd year classes took 5 minutes to write about their Golden Week experiences.
For 3rd graders, we tried to expend our writing beyond single sentence answers. I asked them to start by writing simple sentences, then to give more details about those activities by writing one or two extra sentences.
The first set of tests has just finished, but we’ll continue to have fun and build our English skills throughout our English conversation classes this year!!
