What worked well in this class? What did not work?
Worked well: Vocabularies and sentence patterns help the student to out put the language. Papercutting itself is also very interesting.
Did not work：I prepare two patterns of papercutting which are flowers and zodiac signs. The student thinks zodiac sign patterns are too difficult, so she doesn’t want to have a try.
How could this class be improved/ modified?
When doing the papercutting, I played some music, and we talk about our favorite songs. But I still think the student speak less when cutting the paper. I should come up with some ideas that can discuss more about the topic (papercutting)
