eveglassToday we return to our normal format of twice-daily posting. I am pleased to say that I had quite a relaxing evening last night after I finally got some food in my belly and had taken a fast shower. I did about an hour of work (essentially just typing up my notes and doing one more sentence of assignment 2, bringing the total up to 4 of 6) and went to bed early.
This morning was spent: 1. observing an actual teacher in this language school, and 2. learning an alternate method of presenting new language ("test, teach, test" as opposed to "present, practice, produce"). It was quite nifty and I may in fact use it in my uber-lesson tomorrow. ("Uber" in terms of length, not necessarily quality.)
Otherwise, I have nothing new about celta to report.
In absolutely unrelated news, tomorrow is Topin Wagglegammon! Fnord! If you are at a loss for the celebration of Topin Wagglegammon, you can see some examples from Eric's journal last year, or (brand new!) check out The Ancient Ritual of The Four Cookies And A Coat Hanger And Some Other Stuff. Or you could do whatever you want. I'll post more about Topin Wagglegammon tomorrow, though I probably won't introduce it to my students... this year. [insert maniacal laughter here]
Cheers!
