Tour of Tiffany's School
The school that Tiffany works at is huge and open. It is four stories high and has walkways overlooking different courtyards or the outside of the school. Here is an example of one of the inner courtyards. The classrooms have windows that can open up and let the breeze from the outside blow through the rooms to cool them down.
We were allowed to sit in on a presentation that some high school students were giving to what I believe was a room of fourth graders. They did an entire slide show presentation and story/skit in English to the class, with the children answering most of the English asked questions in Mandarin, but it was impressive that the students could follow the story as well as they did. Mostly the point of the play was about how over fishing and dumping garbage was bad for the ocean and that you shouldn't eat the little fish, but let them grow bigger and then eat them. The high school students did a great job of telling the story and entertaining the students. The one blatant mistake was when they were talking about the coral being killed off by pollution and instead gave an entire talk, complete with pictures and text about how the ocean's Carol was being harmed.....Poor Carol.
Then it was off to the actual school where we were going to teach at and we did a lot of stuff that I will probably never get to.
