Well here it is midterm week. School is half over; we have half way more to go. Midterm week has to be 1 of my favorite weeks of the year. I love it we don't have so much work to do, but the students are working extra hard. Getting out at 11:30 everyday is also a nice benefit.
I also enjoy the fact that we're going to be moving into romanticism next term. This has to be 1 of my favorite units of all American literature. The row is really exciting because we're finally getting into literature that mean something. I mean the other literature did mean something but this is the actual real imaginary made up fiction literature like a Devil and Tom Walker.
I did like teaching the Revolutionary Period. This year that was a lot of fun and I think that I mix it up enough that I was interested it, and I was able to get the kids interested in it.
I want to get the kids involved in the Fireside Poets again this year by learning about them together. I want them to present the poems to the class so that we can all benefit from the learning experience. This will be a lead into Socratic Circles that we do later on this year.
Creative Writing will be starting a children's literature pretty soon. We have been invited to read the children's books to an elementary school
