It has been so long since I last wrote here. The teaching life is busy...I've had my students write blogs, and I have read theirs, and tried to keep up with colleagues, articles, new learning, classes, and so on, so I have really barely had time to write myself. Now I'm in the final couple of weeks with the Teachers for Global Classrooms course, I'm starting to realize how important it is to just reflect, and understand how I want to apply everything I'm learning about. I've had some great responses from the teachers I'm in contact with in terms of the mythology project I've embarked on - or we have embarked on, now, since at least three of them are fully on board now. Kankam from Ghana, Helen from Ukraine, and Sowmya from India. What I am finding difficult is getting the whole piece coordinated, because of course the other three teachers have their own ideas, but I think once we get the students connected and we start exchanging stories, we can find our course with more confidence. I already feel less tentative than before since I have seen their strong response. Sowmya wote that they are celebrating Diwali, and that she wants to get her students to dramatize one of their myths in a performance, so I can't wait to see that. Helen has prepared letters with her students, and voiced the concern that their English is not that great - well, it's certainly better, I told her, than our Ukrainian! Perhaps we can pick up a phrase or two. So during the course of this unit, I'm going to return here and keep posting, so I can keep the course charted.
