Mid-term break!

This week we're on mid-term break which is nice for a change as it gives us quite alot of time to focus on course work. I found edtech really useful this week as i have finally mastered how to use basic clip art on a handout. The next step now will be to master overhead transperencies! We also started our webquest proposal. I like the idea the group has come up with and hopefully will learn more about French cities which the other members of the group have previously visited or lived in . My task is to focus on the curriculum aspect of the webquest. We have decided to do a proposal for Transition year and as i don't teach transition year this year it will give me an opportunity to learn more about the curriculum for this year.

Last night we had our second SPHE lecture which i really enjoyed. The lecturer is very down to earth and it made a nice change to focus on another subject other than languages. I found the topics on the course really interesting. Some of the topics which are covered really surprised me, however i feel they are very realistic of what is happening in the lives of teenagers and could ellicit some fantastic discussions in the classroom!
