Editor's Notes
- #3: This is not a session about teaching about pencil cases. Or about how to more effectively discuss what a teenager was doing in their bedroom last night. Those things are not going to persuade teenagers who do not see the point in learning a language that your lesson is going to change that. The first part of this morning is to reflect on the WHAT that we’re teaching before we can even think about the HOW we teach.
- #5: Write these up+ add to them? Then generate thoughts on news items / cultural elements that could be combined with them to add depth
- #9: Match items
