the unexpected joys of being an English teacher!

One of the great things about being an English teacher is that I get paid to read books and watch films! I would never have watched War Horse or read Lord of The Flies if I had not been asked to teach GCSE.
War Horse is a great book and I love the film and it is great making the books relevant to today's young people.
Shakespeare is also fun to teach although I would never have imagined it would be. There are a lot of very helpful websites available to make my job easier.
I am currently taking a group of students for Drama lessons too  and we are having fun studying Romeo and Juliet.
None of this was on my list of things to do with my life.
This is one of the exciting things about life.
You set out on one journey with a destination in mind and you end up taking so many exciting detours.
I look forward to seeing where my life will take me next!
