Writing lesson plans

Again it is my off duty. While I have been listening to London riots on BBC live news, I am writing lesson plans. Today I can use my time for myself in order to start planing lesson plans.
Last night I had such a fire: motivation to plan lessons but it seems like disappearing in this morning. Anyway what I need to do is that to make a fundamental plan and go for the power point slides. You know but I am still checking info on twitter and listening to BBC instead of using my brain for making the lesson plants... Hmmmm

These books are waiting for me ....I know I know.

Hibakusha by Ms. Hitomi Kamanaka

Hibakusha ~sekai no owari ni~

Some residents in Hanford , America's interviews were in the film. Both down winders and winders have been suffering from cancers. One of the scientists in the Hanford nuke power plants insists that there is no connection data and health issues among these victims. He strongly believes it, which made me very surprised because I thought it could be that he has been brain washed. He has been in the group and brained washed a lot. http://www.exblog.jp/blog_logo.asp?slt=1&imgsrc=201104/12/35/d0162635_13484629.jpg

Shineiken Conference in Aichi

2011. July 30th & 31st
During these two days, I was the committee member to presentations' rooms.
Extremely busy but I learned many things. My decision after the presentation, I would like to introduce topics are related with Okinawa US Army, Hiroshima atomic bombs, life and death, human lights through project style learning.  I met this teacher from Toyo Gakuin University. She teaches about Okinawa for peace education.



So where am I going? What do I want to teach through English ?
Intercultural communication, politics, international relationships.
