English Conversation Course

Today is the first day of my conversation course at the SYC. Like any good teacher, I conscientiously prepared my lesson plan in advance - put in on my wiki, with YouTube links and all. I checked out the new comp lab (was told I could teach there) a few days ago - no speakers. So nice and early this morning, went to my school to pick up a pair. Then made my way to SYC - and BLACKOUT!!! Murphy strikes again. No choice, had to sweat it out literally and figuratively. The lesson wasn't too bad - now I have to figure out how to make 21 participants converse as much as possible, and to help the quiet ones speak up. Let's see how it works out next week.
