Language & Learning

Today the 11th graders put their knowledge about Human Rights and Ethics, the content from Unit 7 in our textbook, to work. This part of the text was quite good at preparing future teachers for their roles as caretakers of children, and we studied all 42 rights accorded to children by the United Nations. The future teachers of Science and Math put on skits dealing with the rights of children. There was a lot of good acting, good plots and problem resolution at the end of each skit. The future Language Education teachers took a traditional end-of-unit test. Because the weather was nice, we were able to sit out on the lawn. I will grade the tests on the bus tomorrow as I go to Kigali to reapply for a passport at the US Embassy. That was my Tuesday afternoon – 3 classes from 2:45 to 5 p.m. It was a good day at TTC Kabarore.
