Montag
In my first class they were doing a quiz and worksheet about the USA. In the second class, they were comparing their cartoon analyses to the checklist and example the teacher provided. The cartoon was about the implications of playing violent video games on young children. After that, they had to prepare another cartoon analysis to write up at home. I spent a few hours working out my timetable from now until I leave. I also learned I have a week off week starting 7/5, so I will go home in that time.
Dienstag
I had to be in early. I got to the class and nobody was there, so I went back to the staffroom, where the teacher told me they weren't in today but she didn't know either. So, I went to my other class (I was splitting the double period into two so 45 minutes in each class) to spend the whole double period there instead. There, the teacher had to prepare the lesson off the cuff because the class hadn't prepared for the class test they were going to do. Then, she told me that this class was only on every two weeks, so I had to sort my timetable out to accommodate that. In the next class, we split the group in two. One group went over grammar and stylistic devices with me, while the other group were doing more content based work. Then in my final class, they were still working on their presentations from before the holidays.
Mittwoch
In my first class we didn't do much, because none of them had done the homework (I actually told them off for this- its very annoying for me to wake up early in the morning and come in to a class who doesn't want to work with me. Every week I have to work with the no-homework-crew and that's not what I want to do while I'm here). After they completed the homework they were supposed to do (a short dialogue between a carer and a patient), they had to make vocab lists for each of the topics that'll appear in the test (social problems, health/nutrition, and body/medicine).
Donnerstag
I did some writing in the morning, then I went to work. They were doing about the story of Bob the Stray Cat and had to make a timeline of the man's life. They then all discussed it in a circle.
Freitag
I did my food shopping, then I did my Nachhilfe. We spoke about Ancient Greece and Egypt, so next week we will speak about Rome and the Middle Ages (he told me he likes ancient history- its best to get students talking about things they like, rather than repeating what they've been doing in school).
Samstag
I went to town and bought some summer clothes because the weather this week was beautiful. I bought some vests, dresses and a light jacket. I also bought antihistamines, because my hayfever has been super bad this year for some reason, as well as some make up, talc, and pizza for my tea. I also finally bought a bottle opener- I've been struggling with knives trying to hook them under the cap for a few months now. Just kept forgetting. BUT THE STRUGGLE IS OVER.
Sonntag
I had a massive clear out and gave my flat a really good clean. Then I had a bath and vegetables on toast. Felt good.
