You guys! Check this out! My student who never stops moving, talking, shouting out, today revealed he has a secret power: he’s an artist! Sketches inspired by #ElEscapeCubano, by @mcanion. If you know the book, can you guess which chapter?

A4 It has always been fun seeing students at parent teacher conferences realize that I can speak English. It is game of keeping everyone in L2 because it is rather silly that a whole class is using a language that is not the fastest way to communicate #langbook
