Day 59- "Bad improvisors block action, often with a high degree of skill. Good improvisors develop action." Malcolm Gladwell's Blink

Today I had planned to have my English 12 classes partake in peer review, but since my substitute on Wednesday didn't follow my plans, and my students are convinced she may be a customer of Los Pollos Hermanos' special dessert, I had to completely improvise. Since most of the work I had planned for Wednesday did not get completed, and this is the toughest paper my students will be writing this semester, I decided to give them a day to write and take specific time to conference with them, especially the ENL students and students who are struggling in class. It ended up being a productive day, and the students had rough drafts to review for Monday's class. In the end, I guess it all works out.
