Redemption
Well then,
This was much better - although I looked like an idiot for the grade 9s today instead. Twice a grade 9 corrected me with something I put on the board! Do you think I made that same mistake in the second grade 9 class? I often wonder how many time does one have to look like a complete tool before the achieve enlightenment? well that was two times for me today, and I don't feel any more enlightened...
As for the grade 11/12 class - redemption.
I had written out on staff paper what I had wanted and the improvisation exercise went off like a canon, no not like Pachabel whom I hate. Interestingly enough the students presented their voice fugues today, which is a form of canon... Even my associate teacher commented that the students really seemed to enjoy the improv! I just need to be more organized and in the 'zone' when I teach.
Hopefully I have more good news to report later in the week.
