Creative teaching ideas can be incorporated into any kind of lesson. As a teacher of ESL and creative drama for more than 30 years, in a number of countries, Lucille emphasizes that creativity in learning helps both the student and the teacher connect through the activities that enhance learning and enjoyment in the classroom.
Holding a combined Bachelors Degree in English, Linguistics, and ESL/EFLTeaching, and certification in Drama instruction, Lucille has always combined her knowledge from these, and her experience teaching in different parts of the world, to build integrated , creative language lessons..
Lucille hopes that sharing ideas will excite teachers, homeschool parents, and student teachers, and add to their scrapbook of activities that they can use and enjoy in the classroom.
Lucille's pastimes include scrapbooking, handcraft, traveling, cooking, and writing children's stories & poetry.
