Welcome to "Through a Glass Darkly" - my blog about my service trip to Malawi, Africa.

I left Canada on December 30th for Blantyre, Malawi, AFRICA. I worked with Friends of Malawi Fellowship (FOMF), the organization headed by my aunt Phyllis Labrentz. I taught English language and literature, helping secondary high school students learn to read and write English well enough to pass the government exams.
During that time I was also kept busy teaching guitar, singing, and assisting my aunt.
I left Malawi on July 19th and returned to Canada on July 20th.

EXAM MARKING MADNESS

Well, I can finally say, "It is FINISHED." The marking marathon is FINALLY over. High school English exams--ESL--what a job! But--it's over.



The weight of pile means everything is compressed --
no empty spaces!

With my thumb at the bottom
I can just reach the top of the pile.



We did everything we could to cut down on copying:
reducing font sizes and spacing,
double columns, double-siding.
Plus, students mostly used their small paper from their notebooks for their answers.
