I haven't caught up yet, so this post is totally out of sequence and UTTERLY RUINS the rather nice cliffhanger I set you up with contrasting the rides in Israel and Palestine but, whatev. This post has cute kids in it. So all's forgiven, right? Teaching this class began with "hey Davey, you like spontaneity, don't you?" Like any full-blooded art hipster I was obliged to reply "Yes," to which the volunteer coordinator said "Oh good, you can teach this class in 15 minutes." Ah. Ok. This was shortly after I discovered that due to need I would be teaching a LOT of English classes and maybe 1 or 2 film classes. Argh. But I feel pretty good about it and my ability to sneak in my own designs, more on that soon. The result of that ad-hoc teaching position was this 27 second video:
Cute little buggers, ent they? These kids were extremely well mannered and met in a nicely stocked center while they were on winter break after exams (Children in Palestine seem to be perpetually studying for exams, taking exams, or having a break after exams, which usually excuses them from English class as well). Over the next couple days we did art with an English twist, including collages. Check them out below!
America, the Mid East, overground, underground. I hope to keep the ideas far-reaching. Please join into the mix via comments, and if you'd like to let me know about a thing or two please drop me an email
