Merry Christmas

Even teachers can't get it

Even teachers can't get it together sometimes. Our book club project only had half of the sections ready.

This is only a test of the html language that David Warlick suggested.

Well, I made it through the Thanksgiving holiday fairly intact. Probably a few pounds heavier thanks to all the great desserts and my grandma's stuffing.

Before I left school on Tuesday, I looked for a classroom set of novels of The Great Gatsby by Fitzgerald, but could not locate them. That meant that for this week, I had to go with plan B. I introduced my class to the world of graphic novels. We are currently working on individual graphic short stories. I'm not sure how this is going to work out or even how I'll grade it. We're sort of feeling our way through it. I wish I could find someone who had done this before to give me some ideas, but my searches have been in vain.

My school's literacy coach loves the idea and wants to put it into the unit plans for the class for the next year. It feels good to be noticed for doing a good job.
