Day One: Shimabara TPRS 2011
First day of workshop: I taught French in the morning. One of the JETs called it “revelatory.” Then in the afternoon Martha had kids come in. I tried to do a lesson and it was not great. But Martha taught them a lesson with a story that they had written. As she worked with them it was wonderful! They understand English so perfectly! We ended with about 90 minutes of questions. Good day. Tom Armstrong was Martha’s Partner in planning and putting on the workshop. He is a super guy. He came over to Martha’s house to plan with Yuki, Martha, and me for tomorrow.
