"The Awakening" by Kate Chopin

 In chapter XVI Edna says: "I would give up the unessential; I would give my money, I would give my life for my children; but I wouldn't give myself."
What do you think she means?

EDI: YOUR WORKSHOPS

Please, give your opinion about the workshop (classes) that you prepared for your classmates. Did you enjoy working with your group? Was it a productive, good activity or not? What did you like most about your mates' workshops? Any suggestions? Anything you may say will be helpful for everybody.

As far as I am concerned, I really enjoyed listening to you all and seeing you "in action" as teachers! All topics were interesting and certainly relevant to your knowledge as a teacher of English. You showed creativity and developed balanced classes, taking into account all skills.
My suggestions for the future:
. Make sure you know the meaning and pronunciation of the vocabulary you're going to work with.
. Double check copies for mistakes.
. For a class to be catching, the activities should be somehow connected; they should have "un hilo conductor", so that they won't just be a collection of tasks to be performed, taken from Internet.
. No doubt the net is a wonderful source of materials and information, but you should make sure whatever you take comes from a reliable page.
. Try to make the most of any activity: if you deal with a listening text to develop understanding of a recorded material or a written piece for grammar's sake, etc, exploit the material in other ways, beyond the main objective.
And most important, ENJOY PREPARING CLASSES and WORKING WITH YOUR STUDENTS IN THE CLASS!!!  
Looking forward to reading your comments!
Your teacher
