    The direction of 33B it seems. I'm going in a hour early tomorrow to try it out with a pack of toffee crisp clusters. I will write up a field report of my experience if there is the interest.

    Thanks, although I feel like the real work has already begun. I'm still trying to figure out how it's physically possible to create that many lesson plans in such a short space of time. Should have started preparing MONTHS ago!!

    Eventually you'll be able to start using previous plans as templates. Change the dates and times as the week progresses, and you'll know what other material to edit yourself.

    TP's going alright. Taught my first two lessons today. Think it will be easier to teach once I get into the swing of things but really not looking forward to the pressure mounting as the paperwork looms! AAAHH!

    It's good that they try, but any streamed video that I've tried to watch was pretty crap.

    Lot of religious talk...

    Didn't think the graduation would involve that. I can see why it does though.

    I'm blessed with the class and the class teacher. No complaints. Only complaint I have right now is that I have a load of work to do. :mad:

    At least you have time off to do it. Imagine what it would be like if there was no mid-term next week.

    It's still a pretty formidable amount of work to do though, the planning that is. I've found it bad enough this far, and that was when I was only teaching half the day.
