According to my text book, I should start collecting "stuff" - anything that I think may be useful when I finally start teaching. My mind has been reeling for the last 5 days on this!
I can find a lot of things/stuff that I think may be helpful for me when I finally teach English. The newspaper is full of ideas - as are Internet sites - and instruction booklets - and free handouts from almost anywhere - and cheap things at Goodwill...
Is it possible to collect too much stuff? Could I lose track of my teaching intent while searching through my "database" of papers, pictures, and parsnips? (OK, not really parsnips, but, I couldn't come up with another p for my alliteration!)
Knowing what is useful and what is not I won't know until I get into a school and start using the stuff. So, that isn't an issue.
Comments?
p.s. Peabody, I emailed the school district mentioned in my last post...no word yet!

Beware. Chaos awaits.
Check out my office for evidence.
Get stuff when you need it. Then keep it until it falls apart. Then keep the pieces because once long ago the stuff was useful.
That's my process.
