Despite my best intentions, I never managed to revisit the blog to offer a thoughtful conclusion to my entries. So I'm here to do that - but since I'm actually beginning my "turn-key" training and sharing my experiences now with students and colleagues, perhaps the conclusion is better put as an introduction to the next phase of my study!
Having been given such an incredible opportunity, I now want to do my part to share that experience and inspiration with others. I was required to develop and implement a curriculum plan as part of my commitment to the Department of Education, so next month I will be teaching O. Z. Livaneli's novel Bliss to my seniors and using it as the vehicle by which we negotiate learning Turkish history and culture. I am also instructing in-service courses for my colleagues and giving workshops at conferences, so I hope to continue using this blog as a tool for supplementing those activities.
If you have any questions and stories to share, please contact me! I hope you've enjoyed your vicarious vacation, and until the next time - gule gule!
About Me
- Ms. Fleming
- I am an English teacher at a high school in Central New York. I teach 11th and 12th grade English, and I teach AP English Literature. This is my first blog, so be forgiving - but I am excited to have a way to communicate with my friends and family back home while I travel. It's not the same as them being here with me, of course - but it's the next best thing!
