Mr Bean Takes the Train

Try to describe the situation (who? where ? what ? why?)
Have you ever experienced a similar situation ? How did you react ?

Nice start of the week. :)

Building Excellence in Student Work.

"Students produce high-quality work through a process of critiques and revisions."
"Critiques are specific, and focus on one aspect of quality at a time."
"Time for critique and revision is included when developing lesson and project timelines"

Very illustrative, isn't it ? 
And also very applicable to teach our students how to become better writers.  :)

It's all in the mind.

                                            Feel free and take a rest. It's Friday.  :)

Getting out of your comfort zone.

 

" your comfort zone is an artificial mental boundary within which you maintain a sense of security and out of which you experience great discomfort."

"If you remain in your comfort zone you will never find out what your true potential is or what you are capable of achieving. "

James . Moving On.

"Moving On"

Please don't get me started
Looking backwards to move on.
Strong yet open-hearted,
Accept leaving when leaving's come.

God didn't see it coming,
Never said I love you, hope you knew.
Now my bags are packed and my sails are tacked
And my course is marked by stars,

[2x]
I'm on my way,
Soon be moving on my way,
Leave a little light on,
Leave a little light on,

Time always unwinding,
All these dead lines in my mind.
Seeds and dreams we planted
Took for granted, didn't prove.

Walking down this road
When my pulse beats slow,
Hope to have you close at hand.
When this cycle ends,
Will it start again?
Will we recognize old friends?

I'm on my way,
Soon be moving on my way,
Leave a little light on,
Leave a little light on.

I'm on my way,
On my way, on my way, on my way,
Leave a light on,
Leave a little light on.

I'm on my way,
Soon be moving on my way,
Leave a little light on,
Leave a little light on.

I'm on my way,
On my way, on my way, on my way.
Leave a light on,
Leave a little light on,
Leave a little light on.
