Argh. I'm still sick. My head congestion has settled into my chest, although my ears are still clogged and my throat is still raw which means my voice comes and goes. However, I am in a better mood, so being sick isn't quite as bad. I will be teaching today as I really can't afford to lose any more time.
So, today's challenge is to incorporate lots of listening and speaking into my classes - lots of activities where I don't have to do a lot of explaining or pre-teaching. I found a video on TED about why people should switch to a diet of bugs. I think it will be a good listening topic with comprehension questions, and then I can turn it into a class debate. Maybe a writing topic?
Anyways, I'll figure something out. The exciting news is that in four weeks I'll be spending my May break in Virginia before finishing out the last three weeks of my contract. I'm extremely excited as I can't wait to see all my friends from uni.
There was something else I wanted to write about, but the cloud in my head is limiting my mental functions, so I'll just sign off now.
Sincerely,
Your Russian Traveller
