Detailed Summary of What You Planned to do
           I proposed a plan of teaching English to orphans at the Nanning Children's Welfare Institute. This institute receives its resources from the government and people from all walks of life. However, they do not receive proper education systems because of the lack of teachers that can focus on their educational need. As a result, the children are in irregular classes that limit their systematic learning. Although I am studying in the United States, I am passionate about helping the institution. However, because of the global pandemic, the only way to teach children is online distance learning. So, I planned to organize an online learning management system for the orphans. I coordinated the logistics and teaching process with the head of the orphanage through different communication networks. We considered the required lesson plan, the tools, the equipment, and the strict scheduling to match the time zone difference.
In the lesson plan, we developed a combination of learning goals of speaking, reading, and writing in English. Since the class has an irregular grasp of the English language, the lesson plan was developed to cater to children’s level of understanding. So, it was necessary for the use of teaching tools to maximize the abilities of the children to better understand the lessons. I included songs and videos about English alphabet learning that I search over the internet that can improve the learning experience and overall engagement.
I made PowerPoint presentations for each lesson as digital visual aids and planned to read English learning textbooks to the class.

I also included homework in the lesson plan to facilitate continuous learning outside the class. The homework is meant the teach the children the importance of being responsible in practicing and refining the English skills that they learned from the lesson. 
Summary of What You did
           I followed the original plan in conducting online classes, distributing teaching materials, giving activities, and homework. However, after a few lessons, I became worried about the efficacy of the initial online distance learning plan. I started my community service work in February of this year, and I have been working for five hours every Friday. There are lots of English lessons to cover, but I do not have sufficient time. Fortunately, the orphanage acquired additional help from other college students from different regions that are willing to join in teaching English with me. We formed a small team and reorganized our teaching structure. We monitored and discussed the teaching progress every weekend to see what needs to improve and rectified. We presented our teaching analysis reports of each class in every discussion. We refined the content and changed the weak points observed during each session. Howeve...
