Today was about as an uneventful day as I have had this year, which was welcome. Read 180 went smoothly this morning, even with the disruption for picture day. (Speaking of pictures, I wore a button down shirt for pictures, and my colleagues reacted as if I was wearing a 3-piece suit. Guess I don't realize how casual I always dress.) My one English 12 class today was my Jeopardy review and marathon writing from yesterday. This Jeopardy was the most competitive one of all my classes, and someone finally answered the $500 question on the "grammar errors" category correctly! Finally Jeopardy still foiled them as they too literally failed to see the writing on the wall. This class too loved the writing about what annoyed them and their pet peeves, but this class has some talkers who like think writing is talking, so it can be a struggle to reign them in once they get going. iPass and prep were very productive today, as was necessary. The Read 180 lab class read and wrote their rough drafts for the expository paragraphs. We will take some time to really work on these to hammer out a good, solid paragraph so we can get the basics for more writing.
We had a game tonight against Franklin Community, a team who has beaten us the last two seasons. We played to a 1-1 tie despite outshooting them 18-6, owning probably 70% of the possession, and playing a man down for the last 20 minutes. I know a majority of soccer games end in a draw and the undergo wins about 45% of the time and the average total number of goals scored in a game is 2.66, but this is one that we should have one. Execution around the goal has to be better, and we can't let teams hang out and give them hope.
