Hello everybody, 
How are you doing? I haven’t been writing much recently, and… I finally have something that might be good to know for future-me: 

Today, I started the official Preparation booklet for the end-of-the-year exam, and my students seemed very interested in the exam. 

Giving you some context… 

Even if I try to plan out my semesters properly, to know where I am headed and stuff, I am not really good at keeping this schedules… Due to the students’ special program, they have many fieldtrips near the end of the year before the June exam session. 

Since my colleague and I decided not to give the students an English exam for the June exam session, we decided to do the Evaluation Situation earlier so we could have time to correct. Our students would then not have to stress for their English June exam because it would be… a May exam, basically… 

Anyways, I introduced the topic to them and they needed to do some reading (4 texts) and answer some comprehension questions to make sure they understand what they will work on. As soon as it was distributed, it was silent for almost 70 minutes. At the end of the class, I gathered everything and when the bell rang, they left as usual. 

2-3 minutes after the bell rang, a student comes back and tells me all about it and tells me about how she loves the subject, because she did a lot of research beforehand too. She proceeds to show me a lot of interesting YouTube channels about the subject. It was so cute. It really made my day. 

My colleague told me that it was a good thing, even if I’m not the one that chose the exam, and that it should be written in my Positivity Journal. It really did make me so happy that she was interested in the evaluation subject, haha. 

That’s all for now.
I have to be vague, because we really shouldn’t be too specific here.
Have a great day!
Ms PV
