[Previous entry: "Contest update"] [Main Index] [Next entry: "I'm not even allowed to tell you how much fun I had at BRN"] 06/09/2003 Entry: "Oh look what I found"
Looky here what I found. I won't be doing so much writing for Pentacost break, but if you have a free hour or so then go have a listen to one of the shows in the archive. Listen and comprehend, get the picture? Which brings me to another point. Some of my students have questioned my motives for putting up this here little blog which you are reading right now. It is a sort of experiment I started this semester. I don't try too hard to be eloquent or clever; mostly I just put up links I find amusing. The whole point, if you are still wondering, has the primary Zweck of giving my students a good idea what kind of material they will be encountering in the final tests. There are not only links to written articles, I have listed plenty of good links to the spoken word which you would hopefully find more interesting than the standard learning materials faire. And speaking of the final exams, which were originally set for the last two lesson dates, I may just move them forward to leave the last date free. Maybe then I could even have your grades for you before class lets out. Besides which, I am in an aweful hurry to get home. I haven't seen my family in a year and a half, and I haven't sunk my heels in the red clay mud of Clark Hill Lake and gone waterskiing in two years. I really hope I get some entries on that caption contest. It's actually a tried and true method, having your students fill in the dialog bubbles. You'd be surprised in the results as to the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of the students to put together viable real-life converational dialog onto paper. It's quite the learning experience. Anyway, bring 'em in next week. Voting will be online, which will be an exercise for me in writing a little php or something. We'll see... Have a good week off, and maybe we'll see each other at the BRN.
