ESL "Hangman"

Tonight's class went well. Didn't overwhelm the students as much this time. The material off http://www.eslgold.com was better for the new students. Jordan helped out a lot copying the material. I made up a worksheet laying out the English alphabet, along with each letter's pronunciation in pinyin, how they're used (or not used) in pinyin, and how they're used in English. In the last half-hour, we played "Hangman" using simple words, which seemed a hit with the students. They'd never seen this game before. I'll have to find some more games....looks like a good way to learn.
