Well, I’m tired! It took until half past one this …

Well, I’m tired! It took until half past one this morning to finish planning today’s lesson. The very strange thing is, it’s the last one I have to teach for the course. The time really has gone fast! Can’t believe that by this time next week we’ll (all going well!) be qualified.

There’s nothing tomorrow apart from the grammar test in the afternoon. I have to confess that, as the family grammar fiend, the concept was not a particularly daunting one. Not, that is, until I learnt that it’s not really testing our grammatical knowledge, but our ability to teach grammar, and that in two hours tomorrow afternoon we’re expected to come up with the basic idea for about nine lesson plans. It normally takes me an entire day just to think of one…

Actually, we’ve been given a very comprehensive-looking ‘hints list’ for the grammar test. I wouldn’t be very surprised if it turns out to be the questions. My plan is to answer them all now and then memorise them in the morning. I’m not sure if that will make me a better teacher, but I think it’ll help me pass the test!
