I'm flying a paper plane in class as a way to motivate my students. To start with, I throw it among them. Whoever is lucky enough to be where it lands gets the chance to answer my first question. A correct response means the respondant can throw it, whereas a wrong answer, or no response at all, lets me throw it again. My charges are just loving it - some of them even construct their own ones paper planes and fly them in class! My teaching assistant came up with this brainwave, good for her. We're working for a recruiter at a public senior middle school in China. Our students are first graders, up to 70 per class. Very occasionally a student will throw the paper plane, and it will do a somersault in mid flight and land beside him, by pure chance. Then I make him answer another question, at which point his classmates will be in uproar. Sometimes I dodge out of the way of the paper plane to avoid having to answer my own question. Occasionally, I'll ask a boy 'Ladies first?'. If he says no, I'll make him answer another question! The students have a good laugh at my antics. My T/A is the best one in the company, according to her. She is beautiful and young. What a good way to pass the time while making money. I just love this, it's not hard work at all - one lesson plan regurgitated 18 times/week. And no exams to be given nor marking of homework. Talk about easy money, this is it! Stuff the likes of Birmey and multiple lesson plans, and being accountable for one's teaching, cor blimey, glad I'm not a limey! Have a nice day, bye for now.
