People that are not from America love it so much, so when it came to deciding the topic of my first lesson it was no problem deciding the topic. The hardest part of creating a first lesson is the language barrier, so I had to think outside of the box and incorporate something that anybody can do no matter the language. I decided to do an infamous NYC show-and-tell. I begin by showing students a map of NYC which showed how each borough is famous for something. For this lesson students were separated into three groups representing the seasons fall, winter and summer. Each group was given a group of pictures along with sentence strips, in both, German and English. Students were to match the sentence strip with the picture, allowing you to describe what activity it is. Since each group was a different season when it came to the show-and-tell part everyone learned what you can do in NYC during the fall, winter and summer. This activity helped me connect with the students despite the fact we did not speak the same language. I am always nervous when I teach or meet new students but once I get into the groove it's no stopping me!
