For Mr. Wilson's Reading class, it was an overall good learning experience. I was told to introduce myself to the class, and everyone introduced themselves to me. I was pleasantly surprised to find that their English was fairly easy to understand, and it was pleasure to meet them all. The first task on the agenda was to learn and discuss the Word of the Day. Today's was "lease." The second task was to review the reading process as the students were all assigned some readings. The reading process consisted of pre-, active-, and post- reading. They all discussed what they had to do for each process, and Mr. Wilson made sure everyone was actively participating. After that, Mr Wilson passed out some handouts for the students' reading material. One of the handouts was an article about Pokemon Go, which I found to be funny. Next, they did some reading exercises, and discussed about inferences. To top off the class, they were instructed to get with a partner, and do some group work. Overall, observing Mr. Wilson's class was helpful as it gave me a good first impression on how these CIES classes are run.
