Visiting The Doctor PPT

 I am going to be adding the links to my PPT lessons which I have now stored on Google Drive. I am not sure how these links will work for other people - hopefully they will be fine. They might open with Google Docs which does not display all features correctly but can, from there, be saved ass PPTs to  your own drive where you can open with Powerpoint or WPS to view them correctly. Some of the PPTs in question need other resources and some connect with lesson plans already on here. I will start with the ones for the grades that I do now - grades 10 and 11: Senior 1 and Senior 2 in Chinese high school.

The first link goes with the Visiting The Doctor Lesson that can be found in August 2015 and replaces the first part with the same material presented in PPT form. Note - Needs to be viewed in Powerpoint or WPS for correct display.

A Visit To The Doctor PPT



Sunday, 9 January 2022

Checking in

 Just making sure that I keep the blog active. I haven't posted any new lesson plans for some time because at my new school my schedule is lighter than before and I have enough plans already to use. I have revamped a lot of them to now use PowerPoint but as I have no idea how, or even if, I can post them here they will not be posted for the time being.
