Class Experience

English level:  High Beginner to Intermediate (Students should have some proficiency in English, understand simple past tense, and read full sentences comfortably. This lesson uses some complicated sentence structures and higher vocabulary.) 

Teaching medium: PowerPoint, shared onscreen (no external sites required)

Together, the class will practice eight vocabulary words before reading "Mulan" together from a colorful PowerPoint presentation. We will pause every few pages of reading for a check of comprehension. I give every student a chance to read, speak, and take part in the activities. There are cute and colorful illustrations to keep students' attention and imagine the story better. 

If your student can read this sample passage, he/she will be at a good level for this class: 
        The palace was very quiet. Only servants were walking about. 
	“Where is the old emperor?” Leopard Skin asked one servant. 
	“He is sitting on the throne,” said the servant. 
	When Leopard Skin went into the throne room, he saw the old
emperor. He had gray hair and looked very weak. 

UPDATE: This lesson now includes a read-along story video for download. Students can use this to practice pronunciation and to recognize unfamiliar words.

"Mulan" is a classic legend. I look forward to sharing it with my students!
