France part four

I finally have internet! it turns out that my computer was causing a problem for the whole school and kept crashing the server, how fun is that? I am bad news..

it wont let me log onto msn propely though.. but last night i was really clever and got msn working but this morning it appears to be back with the hate.

so i am stuck with web messenger again. i play around with it later. please remember kids -if you message me when you are appear offline, i get the message but cant respond. i feel like i am in time out and it is rather distressing.

i um.

ok. yes i remember now. tomorrow i have beaucoup de lessons so i went to the teachers computer area thing for plan some lessons.. then i get to photocopy like a real teacher and my worksheets look the same as what they did when i was a kid at school so that is really exciting.

this is this one class and i had them yesterday, i had never met them or the teacher before and she basically told me to go into a room on my own for the whole time and do what i want. so i made it up on the top of ma tete and ok. then i went to talk to her and she said i can do exactly what i want with them and i never have to justify myself to her. which is ok but scary.. so i guess i can go wild with this lot!

sometimes i do what i want, sometimes i have a certian topic etc or sometimes the teacher gives me something to do.

its going to be hard finding tasks at first as im unsure on their level.. but i may buy some kind of book with different tasks in. i have to make sure i have alternative work incase the kids find it too hard, too boring, too easy.

yesterday one of the teachers had a meeting, so she asked me to fill in for her. she said she would understand if she didnt want to but i guessed any teaching exeperience is good so i said ok.. she gave me some texts to pick from. scientific stuff, i did some questions, some true and false things and the class went ok i guess. not great, they were may age so that was strange. and they were all boys. but it went ok as far as a first time stood up infront of a whole class without the teacher there goes. their attention goes so fast and then they start speaking in french, like i said, i need to figure out the level of each class.

it will be ok in the end.

i really enjoy filling in the register at the back of my teachers planner =)

oh, and i am going to a party on metz on friday night! woo. friends. that should be fun.
