Subject: Whither My ETAI?


Hi folks.  Happy Spring Draught to you all.

Like many of you, I just received my ETAI speaker forms in the mail for 
spring and summer.

Maybe I'm just depressed, but I feel that I have nothing to contribute. 
After all, I am not running any new methods or

breaking ground (or gound:  look it up) with research.  Not that every ETAI 
presentation re invents fire, but many of them

are inspiring, whereas it's all i do just to keem my classes on keel.

The presentations that I made were usually well received, at least the 
Jerusalem ones.  Even though each one was shown to a room of 20 - 80 people, 
i.e. hundreds of people missed each presentation,

I feel that I don't want to re do the same things for new people.  And I 
don't have anything new; I have a horror myself of sitting in on boring, 
redundant

presentations, having been to a few doozies lately.

So, Here is of the presentations I have on hand:    I'm letting you guys out 
there vote whether you want to attend one of these presentations.  I assume 
that most of my audience

comes from the ETNI community anyway.

So please get off your lurkmobiles and respond.  If you don't, you save me 
the trouble of filing out the form.

__  Using songs to teach English from my prepared CD's .  ( It's all on ETNI 
anyway and the songs can be googled, so what do you need me for?)

__  Following instructions in English to make fancy paper airplanes.

__  "Eclectic Lesson Plans"  Interesting ideas and plans linked 
associatively around a theme; Mostly stuff I did with my Mehunanim kids.

__  Barry reads from his humorous parodies and articles,

__ Barry makes fun of the Literature program

__  Barry Shows links to funny stuff that  maybe you haven't heard of yet.

__  Making your lessons more fun

__  Workshop:  how to cut and paste to make the Magic Stick Game that 
'Zigzag" used to sell; now that they don't sell it we can make our own.

__  Getting the most out of Key to REading to advance the dyslectic, the 
borderline retarded, and men in blue uniforms.


Friends:  If you believe in Barries and clap your hands and show some 
support for these, I'll send in the proposal.  I just don't feel anymore 
that someone coming to ETAI and wants every session to count will get a lot 
out of this.  If you feel we could use one of these topics to have a good 
time for 90 minutes, let me know.
