Week 9: The joy of cooperation!

 I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you – Nobody – too?
Then there's a pair of us?
Don't tell! They'd advertise – you know
How dreary – to be – somebody!
How public – like a frog –
To tell one's name - the livelong June –
To an admiring bog!
Emily Dickinson, 288.
This week I enjoyed working with my team partner “Zaineb” on improving sides of our project reports. I was engaged to share many details with my friend to such an extent that I have never said any word without feeling or seeing myself as well as my friend in it. I was faithful to my friend's cause though I am not directly involved in her project or even connected to what happened in my friend’s classroom  for I was absent in the building of her project. I am that simple teacher who is looking -like my friend- for freedom on the one hand, and the beauty of learning as a redeemer on the other.

  1. Like they say, there´s no I in team. How good it is that you had the chance to share your project reports so you could improve on them. Great to hear you enjoyed it.
    We´re almost done. Although our course, of course is never ending.!!

  3. Hi Khaled,

    The abstract by Emily Dickinson was mind refreshing, thanks for sharing here.
    It seemed we all enjoyed the project work. Indeed we had an opportunity to feel each other’s situation and that was a good experience for teacher like us.
    Keep up the good working spirit. All the best!
