Hey really liked reading about your teaching. I just came back from teaching in Peru and had opposite difficulties with the kids eg getting them to stop runing around, fighting, yelling. I want to go to China next I think :)  

Hey,

Sounds like a really well thought out lesson - thanks for sharing! I'd advise though that getting volunteers up in China is sometimes a bit tricky - when I was teaching there I found it better to allow students to practise with one another and then just go round and listen in to see if they're doing it right - you might risk turning your students against you if you keep getting them up to demonstrate against their will! Also - not sure of what age-group you're teaching, but I'd try throwing in some games and stuff to energise your students and get them moving around at the start of class - might avoid them falling asleep (then again, if they're asleep at least they're quiet!)

Good luck - I look forward to your next update!
