Earlier today, while I was getting ready for a lesson, I came across this Spanish stop-motion clay animation, for which no knowledge of Spanish is necessary.

It struck a chord with me because, not only are the students’ reactions all too familiar, but also because my principal professional development objective – well ahead of anything else – has always been to stop myself becoming the tedious, droning voice in the background.
Thanks to Juan Ignacio Castro for pointing me towards this thought-provoking short.
