20. Topics for Conversation w/Tim The subject that we talk about during our conversation will vary depending on what week during the semester you are scheduled: Week 3: • recent experiences (during the winter vacation?) that we enjoyed

21. Tips for Conversations w/Tim You will lead the conversation. If there is a pause, it’s your job to keep the flow of the conversation going. It’s a conversation, not a speech, you shouldn’t talk much more than the teacher. Ask questions to get detailed answers. Be sure to ask logical follow-up questions (FUQ). Don’t just ask about a series of unrelated topics. Use a series of questions to find out about the few subjects we discuss in detail. Relax! This isn’t a formal occasion. Try to view it as just two people having a casual conversation.

22. Board Games - General Rules Games are occasionally used in class to practice making good follow-up questions (FUQ) and giving appropriate answers. 1. A player flips the coin and moves to the correct space. 2. The player answers the question with a FULL sentence. 3. After listening to the players answer, each group partner asks one FUQ (each) which the player answers (in full sentences). 4. Next player flips the coin... REPEAT ALL STEPS. 5. Continue playing until the teacher says “STOP”.
