Teaching is like throwing stones in a pond, and we never know where the ripples may carry. This is my daily journey in teaching English that leaves me wondering where the ripples go.

Day 34- "Do I feel lucky?" Dirty Harry
Today is black Friday the 13th. Thankfully, this day did not live up to it's ominous name. Black days are an amazing gift, especially after a late night in Bloomington the night before. This was a fairly uneventful day as my first period was Read 180, then my English 12 lesson I taught yesterday, iPass, prep, and the Read 180 lab where the kids started brainstorming for their narrative paragraphs they will write. The English 12 class also got a kick out of all the grammar errors how a simple comma can completely change a sentence. With the seniors having their papers due on Monday, I had a large number of students request iPass passes to work in a lab or my room, and as far as I could tell everyone showed up to their assigned area. They have been given ample time to write their essays, but I have a feeling many have waited until the last minute. I haven't even started grading their essays yet, but I have a feeling many of them will be shocked with their grades.
