So the first week I got here I got the chance to sign up for a program called Rent An American…of course it sounds kinda crazy so I signed up!
Basically Rent An American is a program based in Freiburg Germany that allows for schools with in the Baden Württemberg region to ‘rent’ and American for the classroom. So a teacher will pick a subject such as politics, US sports, traveling, etc. The kids here in Germany not only learn English but learn the American/English culture and as a result have ‘speakers or experts (me)’ come in and talk to them.
I will have my first experience on April 24th and will be talking to three different class rooms. The first is 8-9 year olds and I will be discussing US States and traveling with them. Then the second session is with 12-13 year old and we will discuss traveling and US daily life, then lastly the last session is 15-19 year olds discussing world traveling. Each session is about 1 hour long and is about a 15 minute ‘lecture’ then 45 minutes Q and A!
Should be fun!
Wish me luck!!
