Sherlock at school
You have to love my pupils. I'm doing a long time project with one of my English classes where they have to choose a character, fictional or real, and do little writing task on them, like writing a file or making up a childhood adventure.
After being brain washed by me with all six episodes of Sherlock before the summer holidays, one of the boys wanted to choose Sherlock. Then he thought a fictional character would be too difficult, and so he chose Benedict instead!!
Now I'm close to swooning every second lesson or so because he brings new pic of him for the folder.
I love my job!

This is incredible, Schmiezi. How can you still concentrate on your work?

Re: Sherlock at school
Not at all!
Yesterday's task was "Write about an adventure your character had!". They were working on their own but were allowed to ask for words of course. That particular boy had brought something from home, something in German he had printed out at home. Then he wanted to know the words Englisch words for Reifenpanne (=flat tyre), entführt (=abducted) and bedroht (=threatened).
He was quite surprised when I told him I knew what he was writing about.

Re: Sherlock at school
Of course you knew! 
My colleague told me today: "Benedict Cumberbatch made a new film!" "Yes, several", I said.
"Oh. Err.... anyway, this one is about that guy from Wikileaks, what was his name?" "Julian Assange"
"Hum, right. I don't think he looks very nice with that blonde wig." "Yeah, I know...."

Re: Sherlock at school
I want to be one of your students!
And of course you knew what he was writing about. Hehe.
@Mattlocked: This reminds me of my dad a few days ago. He came to me, all excited:
"Hey, what I have to say will please you. This David Cumberbatch is playing that Julian Assange guy in this Wikileaks film that's airing in two weeks."
So I went like "Yeah... I know. I've known for three months or so."
And he was just so disappointed "I can never tell you something new, can I?" I answered "Not regarding Benedict" and just went away laughing.

Re: Sherlock at school
@Schmiezi: You brain washed your pupils? Isn't that against some kind of job ethics? 
Well done! I bet you are a one of the cool teachers 
.
Then, when I went to school, my English teacher chose The Hobbit as novel for the term. That was fun! He was a cool teacher too 
.

Re: Sherlock at school
... tomorow I'll start brain washing our 10th graders. And as I can only join them in watching ASIP in the second lesson, I'll automatically try and brain wash another collegue, too. 
Job ethics? Wait, there was something ... No, can't remember!

Watching Sherlock in school must be great.
English would be much more fun than it already is...
And I'm pretty sure some of us would like it!
I think by reading interviews with Benedict Cumberbatch we'd learn maaaaaaany vocabs...

Hehe, I know, you feel kind of wise then! "No news for me. I know everything!"

Re: Sherlock at school
Last week, on an English language course I had to make a short presentation about a few my favourite books and, as one of them, I talked about Sherlock Holmes books. I secretly hope I managed to encourage someone to read them;]
