SA4QE 2016 - Yvonne Studer - Zürich, Switzerland

Swamped with end-of-term chores as always at this time of year, I nevertheless enjoyed doing a bit of "fork-you-ating" in the morning. This time my quotations went to a few colleagues at my school who had been in a reading group with me last year and who were game when I invited them to read and discuss Riddley Walker with me. Mind you, they weren't English teachers but teachers of German, French, Italian, Latin and History! Some received a quotation from the book we'd read together, others were given a quotation from The Mouse and His Child, which I love very much too. Although there wasn't much time during the break when I presented the quotations to the colleagues I met in the staff room, we had nice little chats that weren't about students or marks as most other conversations now are.
The quotations for colleagues I didn't meet were placed in their pigeonholes (actually pigeon-drawers...) in the staff room (see picture). I hope they enjoyed the little surprise as much as I enjoyed "fork-you-ating" them in the morning.
