No one was really interested, and I can’t say I was that interested either, but everything actually kind of worked out in the end.
Today all of my classes were either classes that are already turning bad or classes that won’t have class at all next week as they are going on school trips. This means that none of them were that interested in doing much.
As such, I either gave them a writing assignment to start, one to finish, or a review class. The writing assignment started slowly, but by the end, after much patrolling by me, everyone managed to produce something.
The one to finish actually finished early, with only one pair getting it horribly wrong.
The review class started out slowly, especially as it’s a lower level class that seems incapable of 1) understanding that they were reviewing something they’d already studied and 2) would look back one page in their textbooks to get examples.
By the end of class, though, they’d all managed to finish the assignment and I kept busy checking their work.
Next time I’ll owe them a game of some sort.
