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 99- "Fear is for the winter, where snow falls a hundred feet deep and the ice wind comes blowing out of the north." - A Game of Thrones
My first 2-hour delay of the week! Based on the weather forecast of frigid temps and wind chills, this trend will continue. Not too shabby for a black Friday as well. Read 180 and the lab pretty much ran themselves with the short time period, and iPass and prep were very beneficial as I was able to get caught up quite a bit. My blended class met today, and I was able to get almost everyone set up on MBC and with the annotations. I have 2 students who haven't shown up in a week and aren't paying attention to the online work, so they are already getting very behind. I've tried to contact them and have had their friends relay messages to them, but they don't seem that interested in class. Hopefully they get back in touch with me soon and get working on what they need to. For the class, we discussed chapter 1 and they took a quiz. I need to grade their study guides over the weekend, which will give me a great indication of who is reading and who is not.
