Things seem to have smoothed out at the end of 2 weeks,
as volunteers are using teaching aids from home.
Ed and Carolyn settled into an amiable relationship with their
teacher and they have a good feeling of contribution.
Betty continues to help with the curriculum, being asked
to read aloud and continuing to help with meaning and pronunciation.
Students now stop between classes for little
conversations – a big step forward for them.
The situation with too few Italian English teachers
continues at Classico and Linguistico. All
should be well next week, when the teachers return from their field
trips to England with the students.
Discussions on “Robinson Crusoe” and “The Dead” have continued in a
fruitful manner. The structure at these schools seems to allow freedom to experiment and for greater interaction with students.
The unseasonable hot weather, with no shade and no air
conditioning at the schools, made keeping students attention more difficult. However, it proved to be great weather for a
picnic at Hotel Clio pool for the volunteers.
Food was abundant – selected meats were provided by
Carolyn & Ed; Jean brought the cheese, while Jan provided chips and Kathy
the olives and tomatoes. All was
finished off by a medley of fruit supplied by Lynn and cookies from Sarah and
Betty, who also brought the rolls.
Eat your heart out Subway – we make better sandwiches!
