We had our first daily drill for practice. Students must have a notebook that they can keep these organized in. This is how I teach grammar.
We also started brainstorming for our first essay: I want a Barney classroom.
Diagnostic Essay Topic:The setting of Barney is obviously idealized. I know that the show is made for children to teach them how to behave. That being said, in a detailed essay, tell me why you think our classroom can or cannot be a Barney classroom. Be sure to use specific examples from your life and the episode to explain your position. Be persuasive. Convince me that I am either being realistic or unrealistic to expect this to happen.
