Class was held in three breakout rooms, with the advisors collaboratively and individually teaching classes. The Ponddy Reader application was utilized as the educational tool through which tutors taught students.
Under these special circumstances, advisors made sure to go at a pace that accommodated all students in the collaborative class. Tutors continued their read-throughs and presentations about “Journey to the West”. Students took turns reading each paragraph, with the tutors assisting them with pronunciation and understanding of the text. Tutors also prepared short vocabulary word presentations and quick videos and games (utilizing YouTube, Google Slides and Quizizz) to promote student engagement.
The lesson breakout rooms lasted one hour and were followed by a short discussion and conclusion section.
The following students volunteered in today’s tutoring program: Jasmine Chen (1 hour), Greene Xue (1 hour), Alan Huang (1 hour) from the Syosset branch, and Matthew Yang (1 hour) was a member of the Manhasset branch.
