Another ten days have passed. The Jeollanamdo English Camp has finished. The students are gone.
Teaching elementary school students during the second camp was a different experience for me because I got a group of energetic and bubbly students. They chose English names like Button, Spaghetti and Danis.
We were homeroom five, and our name was the Funny Yellow Monkeys! I taught food and restaurant (not unlike cooking except we didn't cook anything haha), and we played a game called, Big Chef.
It is the common American game of Big Booty, but I changed the name to chef to fit our class description and made everyone pick a food name from the vocabulary.
Everyone loved the game when we played it in class and called me Big Chef. I think this time around, I enjoyed the camp more because my students gave me energy when I was drained from teaching. Also, I got enough experience with the middle school students to know what types of games and ways of teaching worked.
I had an unforgettable experience English teaching in Gokseong! Many thanks to the Jeollanamdo Provincial Office and the Jeollanamdo Office of Education for making this trip possible and one-in-a-kind!
Now, I am with five other ASU students who also taught at the camp and touring South Korea! ^_^
