Is the title of the video, that I watched in www.teachers.tv . This video is about how two secondary English and Drama teachers organize a classroom. They have to exchange classrooms for the day. The teachers are Ilma Hammond, who teaches at Heston Community College in west London, and the second one is Georgina Stephens, who teaches at Greenford High School. Ilma Hammond tries to incorporate to her classes movements, and drama, but its difficult to her, because she doesn’t have access to the drama studio, and she has to do her activities in the classroom. A completely different way to teach, it has Georgina Stephens, she organizes the room, in a way that the students can help each other. In this video, we have the opportunity to look at their different styles to organize a class, and they pick good ideas about organization from the other teacher. I think it’s really interesting to know, how a colleague do his/her job, because you can learn from him/her. A teacher told me, very single classroom have a different way to communicate. They have different dictionaries. So it’s good for us, as a teachers, know different classroom realities.

What about Libraries!
Dear Minister Monica Jimenez:
I am going to introduce myself, my name is Lorena Galvez, and I am an English pedagogy's student of Universidad Alberto Hurtado. This year, I had my first Laboral Experience, in Liceo Alberto Hurtado. When I arrived to the school, it was just like I imagined it… without English materials. The library had only two dictionaries for more than one thousand students. I do not think that two dictionaries are enough. If you want to reform the program of English, and does it better, you have to reform the libraries too. Give to the students the chance to experiment with the language. If they do not have materials to practice what they learned in classes, how you pretend that they can be bilinguals! I hope you can understand my doubts about English’s program that you have recently reformed and propone us some solutions to resolve it.
Yours faithfully
Lorena Galvez R.
