Lesson Presentation:
A) Getting Started:
Explain the day’s objectives. Start the video.
B) Directing the Learning:
Pause the video and allow the students to practice each other at each section. Vary the routines, but create authentic situations.
The different segments may need to be split up over different periods, depending on the speed of the students.
It will help the students to see the overall flow of the conversation right form the beginning. They know the end goal.
C) Bringing the Lesson to a Conclusion:
The students should practice these greetings many times, so by the end they should be comfortable with greetings.
Allow each student to practice with the teacher before they leave as an evaluation of each student.

Great video! As someone who has tried to find good free instructional videos on the Internet for learning Chinese with little success, I wish you would make more ;-). I'm going to show the video to my daughter tonight ;-)
