Topic: Ice cream and Headless Horsemen/Speaking, listening, and reading
Feedback: Article correction and clearing up some pronunciation correction.
We read two articles for discussion that day. One article was about a pop-up ice cream museum in New York City. Soyoung found the article interesting and actually continued to do some research on her own about the museum. She found out that another museum is opening in Los Angeles. She really wished that the museum was permanent because the museum was Instagram worthy. She also mentioned how successful the museum would be in Korea since social media is very popular there.
The Headless Horseman article was a little boring. The article was not what we expected. Instead of talking about the legend, the article briefly mentioned it and moved on to talk about the obsession with decapitation in movies and TV shows. Instead, Soyoung asked me questions about Halloween in America. South Koreans celebrate Halloween, but it still is not as common. She really hopes that one day it will become more popular in Korea. She thinks that because Koreans cannot pull off creepy like the Japanese that maybe it will not become as popular.
Not much correction was needed on that day. There was some article correction and clearing up pronunciation. Sometimes we get so into our talks that words get away from us.
