We are in need of a VCR for a few projects. If your library has one you are no longer using, we'd love to take it off your hands. Our Rides # is zv126 Or- if you know of a place that still sells them, like an archival supply store, please clue me in. Many thanks! -- Stacy Pasche, Library Director Benzie Shores District Library *"Sometimes it's fun to do the impossible." -Walt Disney*

ELL Rochester Hills Conversation group
by Mariano Cadiz 20 Dec '18

20 Dec '18

Hi Shannon, I’m Mariano Cadiz and I host the ELL conversation group at the Rochester Hills Public Library. Yes, it’s challenging at times hosting the group. Here’s some suggestions that works for me, I tell my students: 1). Most important: Smile, say “hi”, speak louder and open your mouth. This help others to “read” your lips. 1). Just speak, do not worry about correct grammar, mistakes are ok. To gain confidence in speaking is the goal. 2). I separate students or couples from the same country. 3). I make sure everyone participates and I call the students that are quiet or shy. 4). I choose discussion topics that I know will interest them. 5). I stay flexible and go with what the group are discussing at that day. 6). I also provide them weekly assignments, which gives them time to prepare for the next class. 7). I make it fun, we play games, meet offsite, have potlucks ,picnics or if it is nice day we go for a walk to the park and take turns conversing. I hope these suggestions help you. Feel free to email or text me anytime. Good luck! mariano.cadiz(a)rhpl.org 248 202 9352 Sent from my iPhone
