This is one of my private students. We meet for two hours twice a week. My assignment-No textbook. No lesson plan. Only conversation. Now that is tough because she is very shy. Her English however is excellent. She loves Harry Potter and her teacher loves fantasy books, so we are writing a story together which may turn into book by the end.
This shy and terribly bright young girl came up with the most fabulous ideas. Like the woman who lives in a tree and can only answer yes or no questions who turns out to be the hero's mother but he doesn't know this till the end because he has to ask are you my mother?
The father of the hero went to the magical land of Wen years ago and two witches fell in love with him and he married one and had a child by her and the other comes to the real world later and steals the child and and the entire family has to go to the magical world to rescue him. She's sixteen and sharp and creative and a joy to teach.
