So, a few years ago, Brian and I went to a workshop at our foreign language teacher convention. The topic of the workshop was super appealing: How to take out the mundane from your class; how to spice it up a little.
Since then, it has been a longstanding joke between us and Peg. Here are the basic concepts gained from this workshop (just in case, you know, you need to spice things up a little):
1. Assign the kids a seat in class
2. Put kids names on popsicle sticks so that you can call on them randomly
3. Show Disney movies in French
This took TWO hours of our time. But, now that I think about it-maybe this is so profound that I wasn't able to see the true genius in these rules.
Or, more likely, it's given us a LOT to laugh at over the years.
Brian: "Peg, how do you get your kids to be instrinsically motivated to speak French in your class?"
Peg: "Why, I give them a seating chart, of course!"
If you can't see the tremendous amount of humor in that...you may not want to continue reading this blog:)
Otherwise, don't forget to add "Le Roi Lion" to your back-to-school shopping list!
