I've spent the past three days doing these shiters and noone is going to read the damm things. They are going to collect dust on some shelf with a stack of other teacher's lesson plans and some archaeologist is going to find them ten thousand years from now and deduce that we were a bunch of complete morons for wasting our time on this garbage. And they'll be absolutely 100% correct.

Vent over. Resume busy work.

Eeee, I feel your pain.

And you can garauntee that the one lesson plan in which you choose to write "blah blah yada yada rhubarb rhubarb" under Listening Tasks is the one lesson plan people will pick up and read.

Sods law is a real pain in the backside sometimes.

My current school never asks for lesson plans, so it's been a while since I wrote once.
In my previous school I was asked to hand them in but I soon realised that they would indeed end up in a drawer never to be read. After that I simply used the existing plans from the GEPIK website and altered a few lines here and there. I could have handed in recipes for Italian cooking and they would never have noticed.

I havn't done one since July. I guarantee they will ask for them 6 weeks before my contract is up and I will be in a world of hurt.

Better get copying and pasting off Google asap.

Why? Will they not let you leave until you finish them all?

Hmmm.... ah, can't risk it. *sigh* Thank you protestant work ethic and sheer cowardice, I am going to finish these stupid monstrosities. But when the little red line automatically pops up under one of my many misspelled words I intend to ignore it completely. mwahaha.

I cut and pasted news articles for some and simply typed, "discussion".
