I was busy.

That’s so lame but that’s true.

Teaching again after a two-year break is not easy and I am working hard to get my mojo back.

Back then lesson planning was much much more simple. I needed not to try so hard to whack my brain for class activities to do. Now, I have to exert a great deal amount of effort in inventing class activities or adopting old ones and making props or finding ways on how to work with available teaching props.

Making two lesson plans with the needed props now takes me a whole day and it is really frustrating because I know that the time for lesson planning and prop making is the time I don’t get paid for.

Right now I am trying to simplify some things to reduce the work I need to do and the time I have to spend and the following sites have been a great help to me.

Sparkle Box

Picture Book

Kiz Club

Mes-English

I am sure that there are a lot of helpful sites out there but so far, these are the ones I find most useful. I hope that these sites could help you with your teaching too.
