Little Story- To Do , To make
MY LITTLE STORY
Hello! My name is Monica and I'm 55 years old.
I' m a physical education teacher since 1983.
I'm fond of rithmic gymnastic because I won the World Championships in Madrid on November 20th 1975.
In the same time Franco died! My best target... during the cold war! (The U.S.S.R didn't compete in this world championship).
I tell my students these historical facts I lived!
When I was 18 , I began my career as coach of the Italian team, until the 1983. I was been a judge and then, for eight years, I was the manager of the Lombardia region (with Maccarani- the actually italian coach -we won the silver medal at the junior european championships).
When my wonderfull daugthers where six and four, I had to make a choice : family or career?
Obviously I chose my family and ,at that moment , my work was only teaching physical education at school.
I'm keen on my job and I love my pupils.
Teaching is my bread and butter, but I know that I have to improve my knownledge every year...
...but...
on my sunday time ... (after my daily school planning)... I feel like a desperate housewife:
...”I'll do my english homework or I do the ironing”???
......THAT'S THE QUESTION, MY FRIENDS!

A few reminders
Hello
everyone,
have
you recharged your batteries? I hope so!
Just
a few reminders:
1. our
blog: personally, I need to know better – from a technical
point of view – what to do to upload different kinds of documents. I thank
Silvia Cataudella for having written a message explaining ‘how to create a new post’. I’m also very happy to see that one of us has uploaded two maps, the
PowerPoint presentation I prepared for our first class and the video ‘Inglesi che vanno in Italia’ to our
blog! I would like to do the same thing soon. If we meet let’s say at 4:45 p.m.
on Monday, will Silvia be able to show everyone how to find their way around
our virtual place? As for me, this is the last time I email you: from next time
onwards I’ll be posting our blog in the hope of
keeping it thriving!
2. The
holiday brochures: How many brochures will you bring to class on
Monday? I haven’t received any so far. Never mind: if you couldn’t make time
for realising glossy brochures, you can still use the ones you were given last
time before Easter.
3. The
syllabus: I’ve written a comprehensive chart illustrating the
three units we will go through together before the end of the course. I’ve
just emailed you a copy.
4. Weekly
quotes and riddles: I’m earnestly convinced (even though some might
think I am a little naïve) that if everyone of us does their part, we could
make our world a much better place. What about choosing inspiring quotes from
men of science, men of letters, artists, and philosophers and illustrating
their significance for mankind?
This is the quote I would like to share with you next
time:
“L’amour
lie, et il lie à jamais. La pratique du bien est une liaison, la pratique du
mal une déliaison. La séparation
est l’autre nom du mal; c’est, également, l’autre nom du mensonge. Il n’existe
en effet
qu’un entrelacement
magnifique, immense et réciproque.”
“Love
binds, and it binds for ever. Good binds, while evil unravels. Separation is
another word for evil; it is also
another word for deceit. All that exists is a magnificent interweaving, vast
and
reciprocal.”
(Michel Houellebecq – Les
particules élémentaires)
Have you ever read any novels by Michel Houellebecq?
Enjoy
you weekend! See you on Monday.
I’m
looking forward to having feedback from you on the syllabus.
