Q: I teach in a small school with only 10 kids. I have to teach them all
together, all grades. help! - ALT, Western Japan
This is quite a common situation, and I had the same thing myself until
they closed the school because it was too small! The key with this type
of school is : projects! You can give the kids different responsibilities
to their ages and they really take a pride in what they can achieve as
a school. You can spread it over several weeks or months, and get the Japanese
teachers to continue the work when you're not there. These types of schools
often take on this type of thing, so linking with English should be easy
to do if you prepare it well enough. Some examples of things to do are:
drama, plays ( the 3 little pigs, fairy stories etc. ), exchange projects
( e.g. school lunch , pets, etc.) , making a video about the school in English, crafts etc. etc are the best thing to do!
If you have a question then please send it in! Or if you have any comments or additions to the above messages, then please send those in as well!
