Johnny Drama Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 It's a good film, but I doubt the kids would enjoy anything made before 1995.Your students are a bunch of hooray for tolerance!s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lithium Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 How about an episode or two of The Bible (it's on Netflix), which was on History Channel I think about two years ago. It was pretty well-made, interesting in both the way they told the stories and visually. I think it was a 12 or 13-parter, so you would have several choices of what story to show them, so you could maybe tailor it to your lesson better. Thanks a lot for the suggestion. We saw the first episode this week and the kids loved it, and we got some good discussions out of it. We'll be seeing another episode on Wednesday, but I haven't decided which one yet. It'll probably be an episode from the new testament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lithium Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) Yeah, I thought about that, but I figured they should get a sense of the stories of the bible before they see the criticism. Most of the kids are already very critical, actually Edited November 30, 2014 by Lithium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyDeeds Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Life of Brian is much more hilarious when you are more familiar with the actual stories. You'll get more depth to the jokes. Its reverent irreverence and sometimes irreverent irreverence will be more stimulating and therefore you'll laugh harder. I would suggest, if you do Life of Brian, to play it with subtitles on in addition to the audio because the audio quality on it is a bit shit, and besides, when everyone is laughing, they'll probably miss the next joke.

Lithium Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 The kids are only 13, so they aren't proficient enough in English to see it without Norwegian subtitles anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facekicker Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) Jesus Christ why does there have to be so much rules and regulations in Universities? Supervising exams at the moment and I swear I have more paperwork to fill out in the exam hall than the students sitting the fucking exams.Wish I could just walk in and announce - "Sit down, shut the fuck up, do your exam, sign it and fuck off again. Or I'll kick you in the face."And my last post might be the other way around at the end of this Edited December 5, 2014 by Facekicker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithium Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I think that the area that I need to work on is adapting my teaching methods to kids with ADD, dyslexia and other issues that interfere with their learning. I hadn't really thought about the possibility that it'd be harder to teach some students elementary academic phrases in Social Studies than it is to teach other students of the same age about complex social structures and politics.

Just volunteering with special needs students might be a positive experience as well.I know for me that working one-on-one with kindergarteners with ASD before I went to teachers college is easily one of the most rewarding things I've ever done.
