Hello Fellow TIC-ers,
I am currently teaching English to 9th and 10 grade high school students (and loving it despite the challenges). Because I am working on my K-12 license (right now I have a provisional license) I am aligning my TIC project with the requirements for a grammar course I need. I just got my textbook today, Engaging Grammar -- Practical Advice for REAL Classrooms, and am excited to begin perusing it hoping to jump start my inspiration for a question. Actually, I have several ideas, but am not committed to one yet.
I'm not sure I need any help right now unless some of you are cooks/cleaning sorts because that is what is lacking in my life right now.
I haven't written in my journal - flog me! And I would rate my emotional level -- harried (3).
Looking forward to touching base with all of you this month using this format
Okay, consider yourself officially flogged!!! Write in that journal! I hope the text you are reading will guide you to a good question. Post back after you've done some reading and let us know how it's going!
ReplyDeleteI will. Thanks -- your encouragement/threats always keep me going.
ReplyDeleteTreena, I am right there with you on not writing in my journal and just a little bit harried or maybe it is overwhelmed.
ReplyDeleteI do like working online but I did drag my feet because it brought back memories of the many hours I put in online for my degree.
Well Michelle,
ReplyDeleteKnowing we're in the same boat is, at least, comforting.
Thanks!
It is nice to see someone is as overwhelmed as I am. Every time I turn it over in my mind I change my mind I bounce it around and then want to bounce it out the window. Stay with it.. there are some fun ways to teach grammar!
ReplyDeleteI can imagine the huge load of coursework you have to do this year, and I'm really happy for you that you can get this TIC program to count for some of it-it seems like one of the best ways to continue education as an educator. I hope you've found some inspiration in that text and are on your way.
