Hi everyone, my name is Alison and I'm a sophomore at Georgetown-- and so excited to meet all of you in nearly a month!
I was just wondering if anyone was doing any lesson plan preparations beforehand, or if there was really any planning necessary before the orientation in Budapest. I was planning on buying random supplies-- papers, markers, pens, balloons?, and whatever strikes my fancy as I walk down the school supply aisle at the store-- but I was just curious if there was anything more that should be done on that front before we jet off.
Thanks!

I don't think I'm going to be doing detailed lesson plans beforehand, but I'm definitely bringing outlines for daily topics like "Restaurant day" or "Navigating around town." There are a ton of things you could do with vague topics like that, and you can make good use of your supplies.
Also, the America Learns database will be helpful with sample lesson plans. We will brainstorm some more during orientation as well.
Hey guys! Adam was also saying that buying small "prizes" at party stores/dollar stores can be a fun way of mixing it up in the classroom. Or, you can bring things from your hometown to give students a different picture of the US (family photos, postcards from home, etc.)...hope that helps!
