These were the questions she asked: How does bounce enhance the my movement quality?
How does speed influence the cleanliness of movement?
How does textures affect the way you think of musicality?
Unfortunately I injured my back, so I had to change plans. For today, I had to instruct her verbally rather than visually on how to go about choreographing. It gave me a chance to focus on the questions she asked using concept-verb-concept @YEPeducation#letsteachadults
@patriciab101999@YEPeducation Wow, I am so excited for you! It is always amazing to see the progress of your learner from start to finish! I hope she will continue facilitating her own exercises outside these lessons!
@mshopkinsPJ @YEPeducation Good job on adapting to circumstances, especially in times like this. I like that you have provided extra guidelines for your learner as this would help since it is not in person anymore!
@Maria_C0397@YEPeducation I loved the questions that you have provided for your learner, especially whether she enjoyed it or not as learning is supposed to be a fun experience, not a stressful one!
@miss_sam22@YEPeducation I love that you are connecting your lessons with events that are happening outside of the learning space! Will you and your leaner plan to do something in celebration for this?
@teachingtech_ These are great questions to ask considering that she is starting to get used to using the laptop. As we are more used to using computers, we tend to overlook the things that we are used to seeing, like what Celine said, but for them, it might be very new!
Early today, we learned new school grooves (specifically walk-it-out, wu tang, and the dougie)! I gave her the option to do a create-your-own-choreo lesson or learn tik-tok dances! She chose the first so we will focus on that tomorrow! @YEPeducation#LetsTeachAdults
@SarahNi26705054@YEPeducation Great job on tiering your lessons! How did your mom find the lesson? Which tier did you teach her? I can't wait to hear more about the lesson!
@nabilaelahi@YEPeducation This looks so good, I'm salivating! The difference is definitely amazing! I found that my learner was more positive in making mistakes when I avoided using but and however!
@raven_lovering@YEPeducation Oh wow that is so cool! This would be so useful for people who are in the process of learning new languages! Games are also a great way to learn languages and have it be fun!
@jeffpalumbo3@YEPeducation Growing up, I wish I was taught how to use Excel, so it's amazing that you are teaching your learner this! It's a great segway to personal finance, which is something a lot of people struggle with!
Wednesday, I started teaching middle school groove combos to my learner! She found the combos before easy so I stepped it up a notch and challenged her by adding more complicated footwork! It's the James Brown, for reference! @YEPeducation#letsteachadults
A takeaway from the self reflection is that she, now, is finding the learning in making mistakes!
Side note: Since my learner was sick last week, we will be having another session tomorrow!
For today, I had my learner do a self-evaluation! In reflecting, she realized that the amount of time and energy she has has been shifted due to work, thus not being able to practice as often as she wants! @YEPeducation#Letsteachadults
@NonnoRusso Great job in figuring out what works and what doesn't work and using that to adapt your lessons further on! We are always learning so it's nice that both you and your learner are learning together now!
@teachingtech_ @YEPeducation Awesome lesson! I like that you used the current events to direct your lessons! Youtube is also a great way to kill time as well as catch up with the latest news! How did she find the lesson?
@JeewonKim6@YEPeducation Great job in helping her change the wallpaper and set up face ID! I'm not quite sure how to do that myself, so surely she is becoming a master! What did she change the wallpaper to?
@miss_sam22@YEPeducation I love that you engaged your learner using the events that are happening in the real world, it definitely adds a little bit of more fun in the lesson! I also liked that you had her guess the song as well!
