Jeffery Benjamin once said, "A great teacher never stops being a student". My alternative for tech day would be a whole day where the teachers are students and the students are teachers!
This is what the day would look like:
9.00 - Roll & Notices - Each "student "(teacher) would have to answer to each name called out in a different language. eg. "Good morning Tom", "Good morning sir", "Good morning Jack", "Bula sir", etc
9.05 - Quiz - At quiz time the "students" would go online to a website called, "Hardest trivia quizes in the world". They would then have to complete the quiz and get 100% right, if they didn't they would be on womble patrol.
9.15 - Maths - Memorize pie to at least 30 decimal places
10.10 - Brain Break - As the new "students" are quite tall and have long legs they would need to run around the field twenty times.
10.15 - Literacy - The "Students" take turns reading and acting out Shakespere (Romeo and Juliet)
11.00 - Morning Tea - This is reduced to five minutes as there will be fifteen minutes sitting in silence. Why? Because the teachers said so!
11.20 - Rosie Project - The "students" now have to act out the Rosie stories that have been written, including costumes. We will video these and the best ones will be on class page and YouTube.
12.45 - Lunch - Ten minute eating has now been extended to half and hour eating time. If "students" do not have enough food to last the half hour, the compost bin will be open for service.
1.45 - Reading - The dictonary must be read.
2.00 - Speeches - "Students" will be given five minutes to come up with a ten minute speech on Animal Welfare (Just for you Mr Wynne).
Wow, if I was a "Student" I would be happy in that class - NOT!
p.s "students" will not be allowed to drink coffee
Nice Logan - I love it! What a great classroom to be in - my idea of a fun day.
