Being a foreign novelty allows you to do fun things. For example, you can teach a class entirely on yourself, and kids will pay attention.
Last week I taught an English demonstration class to get junior high kids excited about high school. So my teaching partner and I decided to put together a slide show about my life in new york and have the kids answer questions about it.
