You can't tell what Gloria Gaynor is saying, the Beatles speak so much clearer.

That was yesterday. How did it go. Hmmm. It was fun. But it was one of those lessons i have a habit of doing where if the question is asked - what did you learn today - I'm not sure they would be able to say.

In concrete terms. They know the difference between the isle of Wight and the isle of man? No. I learnt that - getting rid of desks is good. Sitting them in a circle meant no one could hide. And mainly that I'm still learning their level of comprehension. I need to put this in my 'reflective diary' that goes in my portfolio of yawn evidence.... But mainly i learnt - the Beatles really enunciate well. McCartney almost speaks in when I'm 64 - you can hear the words. Gloria Gaynor - less so. And we listened to i will survive far too many times. Next week they are getting theory. Oh well. Although they do have exams it's not like GCSE so I'm not under so much pressure. That's the good thing. I'd rather just teach creative writing or teach 3 year olds how to pretend to be deep sea divers. That's where my skill lies. Living in a made-up world. I feel that my plan a has been shunted but what can you do. This has to be done. And will be over in May. So no matter. Then we can have a think about what I actually want to do. And indeed what opportunities there are out there...
