Writing kids' stories
My first full week has ended. It was pretty hectic but at the same time quite calm and fun. I'm still trying to get to grips with all of the project. We have to write so many parts of the kids' curriculum that it's difficult to keep track of everything. Textbooks, storybook, teachers' plan, activity book, homework book...For the first time in my life, I actually need an organiser - and I have to use it!
Yesterday, a big typhoon passed over Tokyo. It was meant to be the biggest one in 30 years but it died out by 9 pm and a stillness remains. Naomi and I watched "Wag the Dog" which is pretty funny, and "The Call", which is pretty crazy. We also had a big feast of KFC chicken! It was nice to watch videos at home...we hadn't done that for a while.
At night I wrote one of the stories for work. About a kid meeting a little hedgehog. It's been decided that the stories will ryhme and have a constant rythm throughout. Plus, we have to incooporate all the vocabulary from the syllabus into the story. This makes it quite tricky! It's fun though. For example, one lesson might have "Do you have...?" as the teaching point, and the next lesson might have, "Yes please!" These have to be part of the story. I really have to stretch my creative powers!
This weekend is a long one, so I have 2 more days of freedom!
