I have to admit I haven't used "Directions" as much as the other levels in the past, and so the Lady Wyatt unit wasn't so familiar to me, but it sounds like a great one to use!<br /><br />Of course you can use my action-packed grammatical sentence in your class. You don't need to ask! <br /><br />Have a great weekend!Janet Bianchinihttp://civitaquana.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509800714802303035.post-48074809694780103832010-10-22T18:11:19.246-07:002010-10-22T18:11:19.246-07:00Hi Janet. Me again.
The Lady Wyatt story is from S...Hi Janet. Me again.<br />The Lady Wyatt story is from Streamline English Directions (the last one in the series). Of course, you said in your blog that you had only used Departures, but I was almost sure... The detective in me got busy trying to solve the mystery and I failed.<br />Anyway, I loved You the Jury. It is a story about an old lady who went into a department store and stole a scarf (or, did she forget to pay?) It is presented as a court case and the students' job is to be the jury. Every time I did the unit the students came up with a different verdict. It usually worked well.<br />I love your action-packed grammatical sentence at the beginning. Can I use it in my upper-intermediate class?Natasahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12048765349737400507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509800714802303035.post-7998028462996914682010-10-22T10:05:54.044-07:002010-10-22T10:05:54.044-07:00Hi Jane

It's such a beautiful country, Jane, and you are really making the most of your time there.<br /><br />I am sure you will be fine with all the wealth of material there is in the Teachers' Resource Room. <br /><br />I can't wait to get back into the classroom on Monday. FCE in the morning and Elementary in the afternoon for one week. Should be fun!! Then, "Learning Curves:Making the Most of New Technologies" for a whole week after that, with 11 teachers on the course..<br /><br />Have lots of fun!<br /><br />J xxJanet Bianchinihttp://civitaquana.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509800714802303035.post-672524972970411282010-10-22T05:30:06.536-07:002010-10-22T05:30:06.536-07:00Hi Janet.

I'll be doing a teachers' course in a few weeks and feel totally out of the loop so looking for inspiration from you. Take care... glad the presentation went well.

What an action-packed grammatical sentence that is!)<br /><br />Thank you so much for popping by and saying such kind words. It's always lovely to see you ;-)<br /><br />I only used Streamline Departures with my beginners during that year in the GDR, and lots of my own supplementary visuals, realia etc<br /><br />I am sure the board isn't connected to Lady Wyatt. It must have been a brainstorm of something that had cropped up "Dogme" style, from the students themselves.<br /><br />To tell you the truth, which book in the Streamline series is Lady Wyatt in? I'm curious!Janet Bianchinihttp://civitaquana.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509800714802303035.post-712420122980717932010-10-18T17:45:37.363-07:002010-10-18T17:45:37.363-07:00How I wish I could have participated in that semin...How I wish I could have participated in that seminar! I simply love that slideshow with all those creative ideas.<br />BTW, I used to teach Streamline English (all four books) and I still remember every unit in the books. I loved Streamline, there was a lot of room for the teacher's own creativity.<br /> Those were the days...<br />I had a really careful look at that board. Were you by any chance doing the unit on Lady Wyatt? I think it was called You the Jury?Natasahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12048765349737400507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509800714802303035.post-56388185811443564092010-10-16T01:53:56.503-07:002010-10-16T01:53:56.503-07:00Thanks Karenne!

Having brill teachers like you to inspire me, is a great incentive!<br /><br />Have a fab weekend.<br /><br />JJanet Bianchinihttp://civitaquana.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509800714802303035.post-62071803854044206242010-10-15T14:23:56.336-07:002010-10-15T14:23:56.336-07:00:-) really cute pikkies of you back in the day!
