Activity Purpose/ Summary:
We started off the class with a comprehension and reading exercise at an A2 level. Everyone read a few sentences out loud, then they had a few minutes to complete the exercises regarding the text. After that, we corrected the questions all together.

Following the reading exercise, we introduced the students to a spelling game. The class was divided into two teams, and we began the spelling game. Each student had to spell a word. If they got the word wrong, they had to sit down. If they got it right, they had to go to the back of the line again. The team that sat down first lost.

Personnel Input:
The volunteers prepared the class, finding and preparing exercises that were challenging, engaging, and active.

Achievements:
We practiced comprehending A2-level texts and engaged with the class through a spelling exercise.

Unanticipated Achievements:
The spelling game was well-received because everyone could participate. However, the level of the words was too easy for the students.

Supporting Partners:
