HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Speaking of love, on Thursday I was able to combine two of the activities that I love: drama and teaching ESL (English as a Second Language). I was invited--and paid--to lead a hands-on session about drama and improv at the University of Saskatchewan's Centre for Second Language Instruction. It was great fun! The ESL students really got into it. Of course, as a teacher, I planned the activities to gradually reduce their inhibitions and increase their trust in each other. Thanks to Gloria Forbes for inviting me, and to her and Shirley Fredeen (another ESL teacher at the CSLI) for participating in the session!
