TP7 is done and my last assignment is done (not quite dusted, I need it double marked first). It is hard to believe how fast it is going. I even have the afternoon off tomorrow!
TP7 was a success. There was this moment where I completely forgot to tell them something, but it all worked out nicely in the end. (Hey, an above standard isn't too shabby.) I was doing a writing skills lesson, process not product writing. It was collaborative, which made the final stories rather entertaining. The idea was that the students needed to write a three paragraph story about Jack, a man that is afraid of everything. (They were supposed to write the stories based on pictures the drew, but that didn't quite work out. They ended up being about nightmares Jack had.) They needed to use at least one time phrase (i.e. one day, a few weeks later, eventually, etc.) per paragraph.
Here are the results with no editing on my part:
Story 1
Once there was a man called Jack that decided to have a nice weekend in the nature with friends. They rent a car and took a tent, and they drove for 2 hours.
When they arrived, they prepared the dinner. Also they built a fire. After a while, they went to sleep. In the middle of the night, when everyone were sleeping, a fox came near the tent and scared everyone. Jack was lucky because the fox ate all the food and all his friends. But he still alive.
Finally he came back home alone, and before that day he felt scared of all kinds of animals.
Story 2
Once there was a man who lives on the roof of a high building was very happy. One day, many years ago he saw a seagull. They were very hungry and they took his food and they gone. A few days later the seagulls came back, but they didn't come alone. There was another animal with them. It was a strange animal with two heads.
Hack was scared because he never saw this strange bird. The strange bird was very hungry but the food that Jack had it wasn't enough. And the strange bird started to bit him. After a while seagulls was getting more. Jack was very scared because he didn't know how to go out of there.
Finally, some neighbour saw him and he came to help him with his dog. The dog bite to the strange bird and he scaped for no more apperceded.
Story 3
Once upon at time there was a man called Jack, Jack many years ago went to an interview in a top of big building. When he arrived nobody was there, then he decided to go up stairs and he arrived to the top.
Suddenly he saw a lady who loudly said his name "JACK" and after that she felt down from the building. He couldn't do anything to stop her from suiciding.
A few weeks passed he had a new interview in the same building. He asked for Catherine and his surprised was Catherine was the same women. Finally he check round and Jack woke up.
