AR with a personal advantage

DAY 22-23 19-20 May 2011

I’ve spent and enjoyed two days finding sources, selecting them, planning activities, calling Robert to provide me with more insights about American Rock. Of course all this is wonderful but it’s not real. I can personally do it because I’m almost doing this and that’s all. I’m a comfy position now, I don’t have to be running from one school to the next and spending my day marking exams. I’m at home sipping coffee, enjoying my place and working leisurely and if I want, I can devote a whole day to doing this only. Because Anahí’s lessons will be similar to mine, I won’t have any problems if we share the materials. It’s collaborative work. And if she ends up using my activities, so much the better as it’ll allow me to see how she uses them, how she introduces them, etc etc. A question: should I begin to change the scope of my study? (it may mean reanalysing my data or starting to get new data with new insights) I mean, should I widen the scope and think more about CLIL pedagogies rather than focusing only on materials? Hmmm, good question
