Teaching is about 90% prep, 8% execution, and 2% discipline/management, or something like that. It’s definitely a lot of work before you even get into the classroom.
I teach quite a few private lessons in the evenings, but none take as much prep time as this movie lesson (watching the movie, transcribing two scenes, building a lesson plan around the language used in each scene).
The person who started the group of English/movie enthusiasts 18 years ago chooses the movies. So far this year we’ve watched She Said, The Exorcist, the original Japanese version of Ikiru, Maverick, The Godfather, Fame, and The Age of Adeline, The Birds, and Licorice Pizza. Next will be Triangle of Sadness.
I got this job because the person who had taught the class for twelve years returned to the States and asked me if I’d be interested in taking it over. Random and simple as that.
You’ve got a poem for everything.😉
I like it.
