Today in class I’m doing a lesson on maps and on
giving directions. I think it will be something useful and fun. One of the challenges of this class is that
they are not all at the same level. This is a required class for second year
university students and even though they have all had years of English in
middle and high school, they are all at different levels. On top of that there are several athletes who
are on teams that travel for competitions and miss class and others who have
field trips with other classes and miss class. We often do work in pairs and small
groups. I try to match up those who have
stronger skills with those who don’t and those who were in class the week
before with those who weren’t. I try to
be flexible and I realize what I plan for the lesson isn’t what always happens. The students are very enthusiastic and
helpful.
I finished another small project, a DMC beginning
hardanger kit. I don’t know when I
started it, but I’m sure it was a very long time ago. This is how it looked
when I pulled it out.
It worked up very quickly. Here it is with the stitching finished.
Here it is made into a little bag. I might put a
little bag of lavender inside.
