we do both ... I have them read and write about the artist and then draw their version and then we take some grammatical point and further discuss
....
we are supposed to come up with a theme for each 4 months and my theme is general culture = art .... hence all the artwork !!

thanks Volcano - I took the advice that many gave me here on BajaNomad and kinda put it all together- I was having a lot of trouble from this one
class ... needed some way to calm them down and have them respond to me and to my teaching .... the art has helped tremendously to achieve this goal.
It has been one of the most difficult classes of my 30 year career ....
and thanks to all of you, the rooms looks better (they were dismal), I have magazines and crayons and highlighters and even candy to reward them. They
are so competitive when it comes to getting a prize .... the learing curve all of a sudden becomes perfect LOL

thanks Linda .... they are light years behind where they should be Englishwise but slowly getting a little bit of a base .... hard t believe they
reached 6 years of studying English and can't even tell me the word for YO, USTED, NOSOTROS en ingles !!!! and they are supposed to be conversant at
this stage of the game 
anyways - I have them describe the painting using adjectives (5 - 10) and then the most advanced 10 write about the painter while the rest of the
classs gets taught the past tense using the artists' lives ....Although it has been a challenge to prepare - the end result has me muy feliz

What good is French in this modern world? English or Chinese would be better. French and even Spanish are dead lanugages, no new words are created,
they just use the english words, whats the French or Spanish word for computer?

French is, perhaps, useless but we are having fun. and that is priceless. It also opens their minds to travel. priceless. and they get to try bleu
cheese. in la bocana. priceless.
Can I ask all the naysayers to please post someplace else. I don't know why you even read what I write ???????? I can't tell you how tired I am of
your negative comments. so over it.
however, I do know that many of my European students are now studying Spanish ... of course, they know English as well as their native language
already.

Karl - THANKSSSSSSSSSSSSS we got the packages and was I ever surprised at all the goodies ............. whoooo hooooo. Really, thanks very much
The paper went straight to Valentine who is our office copy manager. He was OUT of letter size and making me copies with legal size paper til I gave
him a new supply today thanks to YOU.
The bulletin board in the back is the one islandbuilder donated .... also got put up immediately behind Valentine's desk so he didnt have to tape
notes to the wall. Looks soooooooooooo much nicer !!
Thanks guys.

Not to worry, Blanca. Ignore them. Philistines the lot of 'em. (What's more they'll probably have to look that up to know what kind of criticism I'm
throwing at them.)
Keep up the good work!
I'm still working on that box of 'stuff' to send down. Soon, I hope.
