After nearly a month and a half of practice lessons and teaching seminars, I have now "engaged the enemy". The cadets are intelligent, but a bit exhausted as their day starts at 6:30 AM and ends at 5:45PM, followed by dinner and an evening study period. I'm having lots of fun. So far, we've covered Egypt, Babylon and the Greeks. With a 15 minute break before class, I usually show an exciting or funny clip before class begins to get them fired up and to use as a jumping point for the discussion. So far, I'm loving every minute.
