Black Fridays need to be more prevalent than just once every three weeks. I love them, and they are almost like an extra 1/2 day weekend for me. Well, they aren't that easy, but its a fantastic way to end a week. This week felt as if it would never end. It's hard to believe it's only the second week back from fall break because that feels like fall break was months ago. Maybe I should check my totem.
My Read 180 class starting formulating their rough drafts, my second period class went through persuasive language, and I had a student try to persuade me to take him to McDonald's for lunch. He failed miserably. I did have a fantastic slippage of a euphemism that virtually ended all effectiveness of my class, which always makes for great teacher talk. I was instructing my students on an effective method to write a persuasive paper, and I may have said "You need to build to a climax and really ram it home..." Yep, that happened. Thankfully iPass and prep consumed my next 3 hours, so I was able to recover before my Read 180 writing lab. I was able to get some grading done during iPass, but my three senior school-adopted daughters came in, so it wasn't as productive as it could have been. I love those kids though. My day ended with my Read 180 lab where the students read for 20 minutes then typed up their final draft of their memoir. A day full of writing, my favorite students, and euphemisms is not a bad way to end a long week.
