Unit 5 - Activity 4: My Classroom (Quick sketch)

I'm no artist but attached is my drawing of a classroom scenario.

Some context...

In this scene, I am teaching using more of a suggestopedia moment. There is a Baroque song being played in a low light environment. I am reading a short conversation between two people as the students are seated in a relaxed lounge area (which I've reserved) outside of our normal classroom. I'm actually reading at a normal pace and tone and this is the second (different) baroque song I've played during the session. The first reading (and song) involved me exaggerating key words and using a less natural reading style to allow emphasis in the dialogue. This exercise only takes about 20 minutes because I would like to blend this one approach in with a more classical approach back in the classroom where we would compete a short 10 minute segment on grammar review.
