‘I wear the chain I forged in life'
So uttered the ghost of Jacob Marley. The links in his ponderous chain represented his preoccupations, wrongdoings and sins. To put this idea to my learners in a thought-provoking way, we ‘forged' a class chain. Each student was given a strip of paper and on this they wrote their regrets and wrongdoings. I promised anonymity and received some downright hilarious (and slightly worrying) confessions. The links were put together and stuck up in my classroom.
I can't take credit for this lovely idea; it comes from an equally chic friend and colleague of mine.
