Spring song

Copy the lyrics :

“Tom’s Diner”

I am sitting
In the (1)…
At the diner
On the cornerI am waiting
At the counter
For the man
To pour the (2)…

And he fills it
Only halfway
And before
I even argue

He is looking
Out the (3)…
At somebody
Coming in

“It is always
Nice to see you”
Says the man
(4)… the counter

To the woman
Who has come in
She is shaking
Her umbrella

And I look
The other way
As they are kissing
Their (5)…

I’m pretending
Not to see them
Instead
I pour the(6)…

I open
Up the paper
There’s a story
Of an actor

Who had died
While he was (7)…
It was no one
I had heard of

And I’m turning
To the horoscope
And looking
For the funnies

When I’m feeling
Someone (8)…me
And so
I raise my head

There’s a woman
On the outside
Looking inside
Does she see me?

No she does not
Really see me
Cause she sees
Her own reflection

And I’m trying
Not to notice
That she’s hitching
Up her (9)…

And while she’s
Straightening her stockings
Her hair
Has gotten wet

Oh, this rain
It will continue
Through the morning
As I’m (10)…

To the bells
Of the cathedral
I am thinking
Of your voice…

And of the midnight picnic
Once upon a time
Before the rain began…

I finish up my coffee
It’s time to catch the train

Teaching Character strengths

PERMA as defined by Dr Seligman has a minor impact in our Moroccan schools. Likewise, our students lack major character strengths. In the following project , we will look at some opportunities to implement Seligman’s theory in our context.Besides, we will gauge the possibilities of teaching it here and now.

Most practitioners and teachers share a common thought: our educational system is disoriented. The experience showed that goals, the syllabus and other recurrent issues hinder the development of a fruitful learning atmosphere.However, there are enthusiastic trials to improve things. Personally, I have decided to start implementing the course strategy by using a macro-structure project : The radio.

The radio project will be a weekly program that engages fifteen students during two months. The selection is grade based. These students are suffering from lack of self control, absence of grit and low self-esteem. Accordingly, the aim is to help them gain major character strengths. The project will simulate challenging situations where students will dual practice : academic and character strengths behaviors. We want our students to see success in every failure , as Dr Duckworth hinted.

The radio consists of five sub projects: Social problems,sports,education,news and history. Every group will investigate the topic deeply and bring their own version. At the end of every week, students will be exposed to a 30 minutes advisory class and 1 hour on field practice. Bythe end of the first months students will be showing some signs of grit and self control. Ideally, by the end of the program, students will be aligned with their peers and hopefully lead their classes.

The macro-structure project is a holistic approach that requires a collaborative team. Thus, for similar projects to be successful, we should encourage school districts ,administrators and teachers to willingly participate in the endeavors.
