ETJ Ishikawa 20th Workshop

Hi,

We had our 20th workshop, 'Activities That Surely Motivate Our Students' this afternoon with Carla Curry and Mari Nakamura as the speakers. Carla Curry's presentation titled 'Routine Busters!' was full of practical teaching ideas, and the teachers had a great time exploring ways to make their lessons a bit 'edgy' as Carla puts it. Mari's presentation was about a lesson planning framework, and the teachers examined how to apply this model when planning a lesson around a picture book. We also had brief Q and A sessions and tea break full of snacks and treats. It was a lot of fun!
