Last Monday I went with my adviser, Sibylle, to Lützowstraße Hauptschule where I'll be teaching English. Basically I'll be assisting five classes on Monday and one class every other Wednesday in pronunciation, comprehension, and everything else that goes with learning a language. To be quite honest I'm not entirely for sure what I'm suppossed to be doing at this point as last week was basically a meet and greet with the classes.
I'm working with one class of sixth graders, two groups of freshmen, and two groups of sophomores/juniors... I think? Last week was a bit hectic, but all in all I think I'll be working with about seventy students. The school itself was interesting, as I was told it was going to be "sooo different." Hauptschule is basically high school, it's just a different kind of high school. A lot of the students there have some migration background but for a better explanation see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hauptschule (Ya that's right, I'm citing Wikipedia... deal with it). Basically, it's just not a very good school. It's not in a bad neighborhood, but it's the equivalent of what you'd find in one.
Just the same, I'll let you know more tomorrow.
