A "15-advice tree" ! Target : The English Teacher

It was at this year start (2007) that I asked these guys here to think of a tree that would bloom in Spring and be with a new leaf cover...

That tree would contain advices for me to make into blossoms improving or maintaining attitudes, shared feelings or improving mistakes in my/our classes.

They had fun doing their assignments, I had fun reading them.

I even got surprised and moved with what they conveyed to me with this work.

Today I'll post some of the most interesting things I came to.

The next step will be the visual presentation that is usually outstanding.

These guys do have imagination and esthetic taste!
