Today I've started writing a teacher's book for a secondary course for 17-19 year olds. The grammar that is taught in this course is quite advanced. Yikes! I've gotten used to writing teaching materials for little itsy bitsy primary kids. So, I've got my head in grammar books at the moment, reteaching myself how to teach others upper-intermediate grammar. OUCH!
I'm really excited actually to have been given this project, because I get to write about all sorts of interesting topics. At the moment I'm writing about criminals who have become famous, you know, like people such as Al Capone and The Kray Twins? Sweet! Goodbye apple, banana, mum and dad! Hello, evidence, witness, prosecution lawyer and jury!
That is so totally cool! I'd love to do something like that. You're work will simply hone your writing skills. Cool!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a cool project -- and one that's going to put a fresh spin on what you're used to doing. Love that!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!!

ReplyDeleteNothing better than writing something that makes you happy! Have a blast with it!

Sounds like fun! Didn't realize you were doing baby grammar. You're so patient (and dedicated)...I'd be a basket of blithering verbs. Couldn't do what the primary teachers do and have to hand it to them, they're great!!
ReplyDeleteNeat! Didn't know that they taught English in Greece.
ReplyDeleteNow that's the kind of research that sounds compelling (and page-turning). You should give us juicy tidbits we might not already know...
