And I'm very impressed that you managed to get bankers doing a Pecha Kucha.<br /><br />As I think I've told you before, I always leave this site a little bit wiser, and today is no exception. I'd never heard of a Pecha Kucha before, among other things. Had to go to Wikipedia!<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pecha_Kucha<br /><br />OK, here's a challenge for your brilliant students: the history of banking in a haiku?Mike Churchhttp://TheOtherMikeChurch.yolasite.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572501698854836939.post-79642465089996422812011-03-24T04:30:52.711+01:002011-03-24T04:30:52.711+01:00Yippee!

A PK or reading is so temporary but putting it on the blog makes in permanent and there--- forever to be critiqued.<br /><br />Hi Alan,<br /><br />Sweet of you :-) actually my German students were unbelievably involved in the production of this poem... my investment bankers group, LOL - I'd mentioned fairly early on that I was going to do a PK which led to talks about what a PK is and then they insisted that I practice with them before IATEFL - my funny guys got so involved in the whole process and told me when the lines didn't make sense, faltered in rythmn and even helped choose some of the photos!<br /><br />(And yes I did try to tell them we should focus on investing instead of poetry but they...)<br /><br />and of course, all my students just love knowing that English is really German in disguise!

It makes a lot of sense to point out the Saxon/Romance linguistic divide, especially to L1 Romance speakers, and this is so much more. Look forward to using it!<br /><br />PS Is it as necessary to mention this to German speakers?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17100032923373338585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572501698854836939.post-23645631894328525082011-03-22T13:13:44.378+01:002011-03-22T13:13:44.378+01:00LOVE IT!
