I like to get my students up and moving around. On the first day of class, they lined up into town rows and shared their names, country they are from, how long they have been in the USA, and why they are came to the U.S. One row moved down so each student had a chance to speak with a new student. With this activity they learned they aren't too different from one another and they come from all over the world. We looked at the world map and a student that represented a certain country wrote one sentence in their native language. Everyone was amazed at the various languages. I accomplished my goal to build a community of learners in a positive climate and culture.
