Day 5 July 16, Friday 10:00am - 8:00pm Intensive teacher training day. It is a holiday in CHILE, many stores are closed.
Allyson and Jesse were fantastic teachers by providing our group with effective cross-cultural activities. We were not able to go to the Instituto Chileno Norteamericano for the lessons due to the holiday closure. It is mad cold in the hostel as we are doing the activities. Bundle, bundle, bundle was the only way to fight off the cold!
Our CHILENISMO words today are: cachai = catch it, poroto = beans, fome = lame, que lata = how sad, a tiro = right now, moneda = change in pocket. Interesting how words have been made up.
Activites covered today were: Chilean culture, cultural adjustments, coping methods, phases of 1st year teaching, and viewing the movie "MACHUCA". The movies made me cry because as an audience I am viewing how the dictatorship started through the eyes of children. Principally two main characters.
8:00pm We all walked to a nice restaurant called NURIA's for the purpose to eat and stretch our legs. By 9:30pm we're back at the hostel to relax. All of us went to the lounge as our place to use our computers. Time flew, it's 1am. Oh, would you believe tomorrow is our Amazing Race! Sure is...
