Apparently I am really bad at keeping up with this blog. It's Saturday (technically Sunday) and I have 3 posts to write. oops? This post might be a bit short.
Anyway, here's what Thursday entailed teaching-wise:
6th grade hist - ancient civilizations
7th grade hist - middle ages
9th grade hist - 20th century
A Few stray classroom observations:
Younger students stand up when an adult enters the class as a sign of respect. This gets a bit lost as they get older
very advanced curriculum for the school. 6th graders doing ancient Greeks? 7th graders going in-depth about the Bubonic Plague and Middle ages?
notes for 6th: homework to paraphrase then reviewed as class
notes for 9th: Read together and highlight key topics
We had a small break between the two schools so my host teacher took our group out to a small tea shoppe. Apparently this is a popular spot, as some of my cohorts visited this spot with their teachers as well. I had a cup of hot tea (I'm liking tea more and more this trip. I fear I'm turning into my brother...) and a slice of cheescake. Really good stuff
We had another hour between classes, so I took Drew and Sarah and wandered/explored. We visited an area of town called "Petite France." There were lots of shops i want to stop by, so I might make a return trip over the weekend or on a Tuesday. Actually, there's so much I want to try, I keep forgetting where/what they are. I need to start keeping a notebook of places that catch my eye.
As a small side note, I tried some coffee. still not a fan.
