-Dale Carnegie, Lecturer and Author
As part of my week of building good foundations, I feel like it is all about taking action and powering through what needs to be done. If I think about how busy the semester ahead is going to be, I can get a bit of stage fright on... being paralysed by how much I have on both academically and socially. By making lists and sticking to a format for each day, I'm doing as much as I can to be prepared and stop melt-down later on.
On this note, does anyone know where I can find a DVD copy of the movie "O" - a modern day take on Othello? I'd like to use it as a teaching resource for my assignments next term and all the NZ sites seem to be giving me dead ends. It's the one nitty-gritty bit in my to do list that won't get done!

I really needed to hear/read that quote today. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteNot sure where you can find O, if you were in Perth I could help =P I think I've seen it actually, it was pretty good if I recall correctly.
Thank you for your postcard! Gah! Can't believe I've not thanked you already. It was a lovely surprise in the mail
=) xx
You're such a busy, organised little beaver, Scribbles, and I find that totally inspiring! Gosh, I'd love to have YOU help me with my 'To-Do' list, you'd have conquered it in no time! :p
ReplyDeletehave you seen that movie? i found it pretty awful to be honest- 10 things is far superior.
ReplyDelete@amanda - I have seen the movie. It's no Schindler's List but I think it will help my high school students connect to the themes in Othello and is a good introduction to their study of a Shakespearean text. We have to teach specific plays at a senior level and currently Taming of the Shrew is not one of them.
