Guessing 13 Most common superstitions

The Origins of the 13 Most Common Superstitions


from the website, RANKER (interesting to look around :-))

something to read from New York Times

Today's article for speaking with Mr. Son

Megan Huntsman was arrested for leaving 7 bodies of  babies in cardboard boxes and whether the babies' parents are Huntsman and her husbands is not identified yet. A lot of cases related to killing children or babies in Korea as well as in other countries make me unpleasant.

Look back at the past and other trivial things

 While trying to find interesting materials I will show to my students, I searched my portable drive to see the photos taken in California. It was taken only 2 months ago but for me, it seemed that it was more than one year ago. I want to go back to the past. 

- Most of the teachers in the 2nd grade agreed to quit teaching the textbook and teach the students with workbooks written only for the university entrance exam. It was not a good news for me because it is not easy for me to do several activities utilizing the book. I'm not sure that students' English will be improved only when they study with those kinds of books. I think it is not a learning but just a practice to solve questions. 

However, it is true that most high schools don't use their textbooks and teach other workbooks. The situation Korean schools face for students' English goes to a strange way. 

- Students, of course, liked the activity 'correcting the order of comics'. At first, they arranged the order. Then, I let them make a story with the pieces of the paper and do storytelling. The students did much better than what I expected. I know the reason why they did well. "Because they did what they like and want"

- The club ,which 5 of TTP teachers including me organized for the education focused on students' creativity and personality, was passed through Busan School Board's evaluation. kkk 

Our goal is to develop the materials we learned during TTP course taking them out of our notes and using at our classrooms. Our first meeting will be held on the 17th evening!!

- The schedule on which TTP teachers have an open class from May was released and I still have no idea about it. ㅜㅜ

Correcting the order of comics

  Studying Lesson 2, I found out that students really really like Naver Webtoon series, especially "Cheese in the trap" and "Tower of God". So, for the activity to wrap up Lesson 2, I printed out the first chapter of "Cheese in the trap" in an English Version on the website, Batoto(http://www.batoto.net), cut into 8 pieces of paper, and changed the order so that my students can read them and guess the right order. I hope they find it interesting and useful for their English.
