I am overflowing with joy - I'm sorry if I am annoying you!!! But I was waiting for this to happen and oh well patience paid off!!! I mentioned that I am going to have full time (well, let's call it so - it isn't a regular full time job but still!) primary school. Anyway, I was talking to my friend who introduced me to this school in a first place and it was confirmed that I am a Queen in my own Little Kingdom of grade 6 I am so excited: besides teaching them grammar (which actually I have to do because I'll be participating in preparing them for their final exams), I get to make up my own lesson plans. And it doesn't only mean the books I mentioned in another part of the forum - it is whole research and experiments! One very positive thing about this school is that all the curriculum of English classes is developed by FTs themselves and every FT has an access to all the material plus they are welcome to contribute more. It is not entirely my dream job but it is just a beginning! I can learn so much and improvise. Currently I am doing online research on different projects for English classes I could possibly do with my students. So, if you have any ideas - do let me know! My students are International students from different countries and I guess in a way this factor makes it easier for me as a teacher to communicate with students.

Sweetness! There's nothing like latitude in your teaching.

Congrats on the autonomy....everyone should have such trusted freedom. Try projects on Animals (for example: iguana, dinosaur, mink, jaguar, camel), any ones except cat, dog, horse, pig, cow, goat. Or Countries, Sports and Hobbies, famous People From History. Mark for Presentation, Grammar and Spelling, Bibliography or References, Content. (NOTE: Plagiarism gets ZERO).
