Today's treasure hunt winner

As soon as my alarm clock woke me up at six o'clock today, I logged on because I was waiting for an important email since last night, and it hadn't come.

While I was feasting my eyes on the melting ice and slush, I was thinking of what I was going to say as an introduction. Class Oh-six-triple-one is a new class.

I finally had to go to the store to buy a pack of cigarettes.

Indeed, they were a good class, some of the students' participation are commendable. And I already have a winner on my treasure hunt ... an English Corner regular named Daisy. I have a lot to teach this class and if they can learn much of what I teach, I believe they can be a very good contender to the best of the graduating class, Oh-five-one-two-one.

Sally was also noticeably curious, perhaps even interested, in the video project. I explained that one of the class requirement for taking the final exam is to form groups and videotape a short segment. It could be in the form of a self-introduction, a simulated job application, an audition, etc.

We also discussed Common Sense and Transformation. Next week, I will start applying the Harkness Table but right now, I'm off to gather some materials for discussion.
