Most of last week I was on vacation for Pentecost, so I was off spending time with my mom, sister, sister's boyfriend, brother, and brother's girlfriend in London, as well as several cities in Germany. We did manage to stop in at my school last Friday, however, for a tour and a presentation for my American Culture group. My family and I put together a PowerPoint about activities we like to do in the summer, including many photos from summers past, and I think my students liked the chance to listen to my family speak.
Then this week I got back from my trip to find that my co-teacher was out for several days, so I had a light week, work-wise. On Tuesday I met with my 7th graders, and I got to show them a teen magazine my sister had brought from the U.S. We also played some hangman. Then on Wednesday I met with my American Culture group. I had these students complete a Web Quest I had created about American and Polish culture in the United States (traditions, festivals, etc.), which went pretty well. I think the students found it really interesting, and they were engaged the activity the whole hour. I'll have to remember that activity format for the future!
