In my family...
1 grandpa was a teacher, coach, and principal.
4 aunts are teachers.
2 uncles were teachers and 1 is now a principal.
At least 5 cousins are studying or have studied education.
And, my mom is a teacher.
After visiting one of my younger brother's blogs, I started thinking about how valuing
education is a trait that runs in families just like our physical traits and our senses of humor. Tim's blog is LanguART. The objective of LanguART is to improve foreign language learning with the use of art. Harold Lorayne’s The Memory Book inspired Tim's idea. Tim's method uses sounds from the target language and relates them to English words or phrases in order to create memorable images; this helps foreign vocabulary retention. LanguART is a great site for visual learners.
Forgot to mention...My Ghanaian host father, Mystic, is also a teacher!
