If you ever want to see absolute chaos in a classroom, do a basic (sun signs only) astrology lesson. Then, ask your students to guess what you are at the very end.

I teach senior high school/pre-university, and it was a very needed break! My students had an excuse to talk about personal topics ahead of a busy exam season.

In my EFL (English) and FLE (français) classes, astrology was their most memorable lesson this school year. No one remembered the signs in a foreign language, though!! It might take some time as this was more of a fun lesson.

When I asked my students and colleagues to guess my sign, they said:

Aries student: "You're the lion, your hair is like one."

Pisces student: "You're the water pot. All the other teachers are!!" (Half of the teachers in my department are Aquarius folks)

Virgo language teacher: "Definitely a Scorpio." (His Venus and Mars are conjunct in Scorpio)

Several Aquarius language teachers in unison over donuts: "Libra?"

Scorpio language teacher after the Aquarius language teachers: "Beer? Wine? Snacks? Those are signs, right?"

Oldest Aquarius language teacher: "Psychic? Psycho? Crazy? Isn't there something that starts with C?"

Capricorn colleague: "The wife sign? My future wife?"

Taurus history teacher: "A dictator? What is that dude's sign? You know, the violent one? Are you vodka or soju?"

Cancer PE teacher: "Pretty? The big fish? Pie? You are pretty pie?"

Out of a few hundred students and several dozen colleagues, no one got my sign right!! 😢 However, they got my Venus, Mercury, Mars, and other aspects. Perhaps it's because I'm at the other end of the world from my birthplace.

Soon, I'll post more about my EFL/FLE classes and experiences. I teach in a country that doesn't use English often and is at a significant crossroads with AI and language education.
