Going Solo
March 27, 2009It was a hard week’s teaching not helped by a corneal abrasion and codeine fog, but I went solo on a very hard reading assessment with the Year7s. Their pro-teach was out and the mice did play so I enlisted various firefighters to help. We won them over by the end of a hot and frustrating hour spent confining their bubbling over energies within a writing frame of Hamlet Act 3 Scene 3 and/or Macbeth Act 1 Scene 7. I wonder how long it will take for me to learn the presence of a pro-teach!
