The Crappest Day Ever or "How I had to teach 10 year olds French" - General

Hooray, I'm only 6 hours away from the hour that begins the day in which I have to talk to some 10 year olds about how to talk French; this may not sound to bad to unknowing ears - but I must teach it for a day. I must teach English kids how to talk French for 8 hours, fantastic. Furthermore, the French that I am teaching them is colours and numbers - and it is tought in the way of a stupid little game which isn't fun at all. Basically, my 'team', all of whom I dislike greatly (apart from two undisclosed people) has told me that what I can do with the kids is limited to playing a game where you throw a beanpage at a folded piece of paper, ruling out my idea involving the machete. So, let's go over the things that I'm not allowed to do when I am in the rooms with the little 10 year olds. I'm not allowed to swear, make obscene jestures, say anything that might confuse them, drift off topic and if they start to talk about anything other than French (the subject will often be more interesting than French), I will have to tell them off. Now, I wouldn't mind being a teacher for many other subjects such as English or Math, because those are easier subjects to teach, but I am beginning to panic and hope that the others will back me up, seen as I probably know less of the language than the kids, despite doing a GCSE in it. I can honestly say I have never wanted to go back to normal school timetable more than I want to tommorow - missing out the best lessons of school is definitely the worst downside, missing Sport and IT, the two lessons where I am either done or didn't have to do anything in the first place is being replaced by telling what 'rouge' means to nose-picking, swearing out of context 10 years olds. Fantastic. What shall I do Facepunch? [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Rant thread" - Greeman))[/highlight]

[QUOTE=TINCAN;22954091]this is mundane crap you have done today nobody gives a shit[/QUOTE] Not as mundane as the crap you did today. Actually I'm sorry, I didn't mean it :3

Wtf, teaching kids that young French? I started in sixth grade, and the first 3 years only counted as "french 1". I'd suggest teaching them very simple phrases and stuff, and have really mini conversations, rather than simple memorization of numbers. Just simple stuff like "Je m'appelle David", "Ça va?", "Comment t'allez tu" and "Comment t'appelle tu". Otherwise, numbers get boring and it doesn't seem like this learn anything immediately useful. Unless you're strictly limited by curriculum, in which case, you're fucked.

Such is the life of a teacher.

Call up and say you're sick.

Tell them the French for "swimming pool", 10-year-olds get a kick out of that. (It's pronounced "piss-een" btw)
