This is the last Monday before our two-week fall break, and I'm seriously very unmotivated to do much. I'm at a lull in English 12 were we are very close to getting ready to start our next papers, but I don't want to start them until we are back from break. Today's lessons ended up not be as long as I had originally planned, so I'll have to add to it for my one class tomorrow. I ended up just giving my classes more time to plan for their papers than I had originally planned. I showed them today two different ways to organize a pro/con essay. They did a fairly decent job of comparing the two styles and discussing which topics may be more suitable for which organizational style. I then allowed them to have time to show me how they would organize their essays with a handout I had made. They had more time for this than I had planned, but improvisation is the lifeblood of teaching sometimes.
We ended the day with a thrilling faculty meeting which I walked out of at 3:00 I had soccer practice and had to supervise my team since I don't have a lay coach as the other fall team sports do. I thought I was being a rebel just walking out, but apparently head coaches aren't required to be at faculty meetings during their season. This fall in the information that would have been useful two years ago category. I'm a head coach for my club soccer team too, and we practice November through June. Does that count too?
