163. One student "está en la luna"

"Pepito está en la luna", we say in Spanish.
Equivalent to "being in the clouds".
The teacher coach said to veteran Shean,
"When you are saying something to them, like presenting something, explaining a game, giving them examples of past continuous, asking them something, do look, address with your looking at each student.
Look in the face.
Do not address the class-group as a whole, or looking down on your papers, or looking at a single kid, or at a single adult learner.
With true affection and concerning.
Focus your sight on Luisa, who is day-dreaming about Alex.
Or Fernando is "en Bavia", "en la luna".
Or gaze at Miguel and Pepenacho, who are arguing about something in a low voice.
Stop your presentation if this last case."


A future vision of laboring on the moon. blogastronomia com . You may know that the last proposal from NASA to Obama is to forget traveling to the moon, and trying to go to Mars directly, with no stopover bases on our satellite. Economic problems; we have "to meet ends of the month".
