About Me

Portugal
I am from Coimbra, Portugal, and am currently teaching in a school in Soure, about 30 km away from Coimbra. I have been a teacher of English for over 20 years and have already taught different levels and age groups. After all this time I can say I love working with adult groups because there are no coursebooks and I can create my own resources. I am an avid reader, a blogger and very curious about free tools and their implementation in the classroom.

AE 3 - drama and dinner

On the 9th July,2009,class AE 3 (Acção Educativa 3 - nocturno) prepared a representation of a short play including several historical characters. It involved a lot of hard work not only with the text but also with their clothes and even make-up.
This is a class of 5 strong-willed women who work hard during the day and still find the strength to give their very best in the "night shift", from 7pm to midnight. Brave women, these Fabulous Five (Ana Cristina, Conceição. Fátima, Isabel e Olinda) ! An example to follow - and I have to say this loud and clear: I am very proud to be your "mediadora". Congratulations, ladies!!!!

Well, after a school year with loads of work to validate your abilities / competences, it was time to celebrate, right?
There was a very pleasant dinner with the Fab Five, Isabel's daughter, and the team of teachers (yes, the only class that managed to join us all). It all ended as it started: determined to keep going and happy to succeed.

Some final words to the team of teachers who worked as hard to have such good results and such a nice working / studying / learning (...) environment: a huge THANK YOU!
