  • English110.

     
    I think I should "give bonus tips" via this blog more often. Students might actually read it. Maybe. Maybe. (I felt like that 'maybe' deserved to be bigger.)
    Anyhow, I answered questions today regarding P6 (I think it helped to have them read and ask questions off the handout versus me just reading it to them and them not listening; I'll have to use that technique more often), and then we jumped into a massive brainstorming session using the ABC Experiment. Many in the 10am class elected to work at their desks, but I think that project will keep my other classes (where students sit in front of the computers) occupied with the screens in a productive way. On Friday, we'll conduct peer review... an upgraded one to a certain extent.

    Next Monday, we won't have class; I'll be in the cities at the TIES conference. Sir Ken Robinson is presenting "How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything."
