English House Jan 14

Today was the last day of English House. It wasn't a very good teaching day, because actually I was tired (burned out) and hadn't read the reading (Coping with Stress) so I took the shortcut of having students offer ideas on how to combat stress. They did only short phrases. This was all content, virtually no language. I'm ashamed.

I got grades in for the class at 6pm.
No test or written assignments in this "conversation" class, which was also called "Listening and Speaking" and "Communication."
1 point for a "good day"
0 points for a "normal day"
-1 point for a "poor day"
-1 point for late (basically, it's a poor day)
-2 points for absent
from base of 85, add the points.
In terms of a curve, it wasn't bad, almost as many As (90 or more) as Bs (less than 90).

Jay, on the other hand, used a written test.
