MY ALTER AGO

I've been thinking many days about my alter ago but I can't find anyone, so I have decided to choose a film "Dead Poets Society". I loved this film, I remember the year 1989 because I was studying at university. I do not know if you have seen it, but I will tell you its plot. It takes place in a very strict private college at New England. Some students discover poetry, the meaning of "Carpe Diem" and how important to reach out dreams is. They are helped by an excentric teacher who "wakes" their minds.
I suppose I'm doing my job as best as I know or I can. I want to make my students think, desire a better future and to fight for what they want to be. I wish my students discover their deepest wishes and try to make them real. But, of course, without forgeting my support not only as a teacher, but as a person.



ME AS A TEACHER

I usually teach my students what the curriculum says but I always include stories or history about USA or Great Britain to my students because mastering a language includes food, culture, literature, customs... everything related to language and to people.

I also tell them to "create" something about a book we read, they have to use their imagination to transmit what the book says or what they have understood about the book. I want them to think, to link ideas and to express themselves the best they can.
