This goes back to something we had learned with the first semester of interns. It's hard for the students to create their own thoughts and sentences in English. Aria worked with the little kids, re-telling the children's stories that they know. Corbin did much the same here.
"We did another word search (I think they like it) this time the words were all verbs. Afterwards we compiled a list of verbs and I had them create sentences using them. I gave them an assignment for the week: write a short story! I taught them to fold a piece of paper up and form a little 6-page booklet; they will write a short story in Khmer first then next week I will work with them individually to translate and write them in correct English."
