I considered teaching as a career when I was younger but that quickly disappeared. i didn't come to Japan to teach - I came to learn Japanese....
...you have good teaching days and bad teaching days. This morning (and yesterday actually) were AWESOME teaching days. I love it when I can make my 14/15 year olds have fun. Never underestimate their competitiveness. I had even the coolest, sulkiest kids jumping up to answer questions I didn't know they could even read! I feel happy for them since they spent the last academic year never straying from the book. I wasn't allowed to play games with them. But now I've been given a free reign in the classroom, they now think I'm awesome. Not that they didn't think I'm awesome before of course ;-)

What kind of game?
it was so easy - u know the castle game - where u erase lines from another teams castle? basically, i give them a worksheet. i ask a really easy question. the team that answers can choose how many lines they want to erase from another team's castle and then refer to the worksheet for what they have to do - for e.g 1 line practices homophones, 2 lines they have to answer a harder question, 3 lines they have to correct the mistakes in sentences i give them, 4 lines they have to put words in the right order to make a sentence and 5 lines they have to read a tongue twister. seriously, even the kids that fall asleep all the time were itching to take part. and they don't even realise they're learning anything! it's really good as a review class.
That's a cool way to do it! Thanks for the 詳しくinfo!
