Examples of effective teaching methods.......or not really....
This picture demonstrates why i can never be a really good teacher: my lack of discipline. These little rascals were with me for two hours every day as I attempted to teach them the finer rules of Italian. This particular day was planned especially well, seeing as two members of the italian-american consulate were supposed to attend my classes. however, after not even TWO minutes of observing us, the consulate members excused themselves for an "expresso break." PUH-lease!!! At least the children enjoyed my lesson on the articles of clothing....of course, afterwards they couldn't repeat to me a single word that they learned, but heck, i would have been estatic over a simple "mi chiamo..." (my name is....) we were still working on THAT phrase two weeks after the start of camp.
i have no faith left in the immersion philosophy.............
