Last black day before break, and my student ran into a slight bump in their projects. The computer labs and the IMC were both closed today for some type of testing the school had to do, so none of my students could use iPass to work on their projects. This effected more than just my students, but I told them this is a real life situation they have to learn to adapt to, and their projects are still due Friday. The project was assigned 3 weeks ago, so it is no one's fault but their own if they waited until today to start it.
My blended class met today, and we began watching the movie version of Slaughter-House Five. We watched the first half to the movie, than spent the second half of class discussing the movie and how it contrasted the book. I noted over 50 differences between the movie and book, and we had a nice discussion of what was different. This isn't a well-done movie, but the contrast from the book is worth noting. Surprising, Vonnegut liked this movie, but I think it is actually making my students appreciate the book more.
