Ramblings of an English Teacher. Friday, June 22, 2007. I am still in New Mexico, waiting for the shuttle back to the airport in El Paso. I have another 45 minutes to fill, so I thought I would share the cool conversation I had this morning. If the College Board wants to start integrating WAC/WID into AP classes across the board, I think that says a lot about how important writing really is. This is going to be me letting off some steam. After we finished this afternoon, I took my laptop down to the loun...

Ramblings of an English Teacher: February 2008

http://tvhsramfan.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html

Ramblings of an English Teacher. Tuesday, February 19, 2008. Our Reputations Preceed Us. My department has a reputation for being a bit crazy, and I attribute it to our department chair, Mrs. G- . She is an amazing teacher, but she is also wonderfully wacky. In her quest to entertain herself, she also perpetually entertains the rest of us - teachers and students alike. Yesterday morning she appeared in the back of my classroom just as I started to intro the novel we were starting - Jodi Picoult's. As we ...

A record of one teacher researcher's questions, problems, ideas, and adventures with students and book clubs. Friday, November 9, 2007. Cindy is Seeping into my Classroom Beyond Book Club. This evening I received the following e-mail from one of my students:. We should discuss this in class. I feel like we don't get enough oportunity. In school to talk about political stuff. Thinking can really get kids thinking and off their butt. It did for me. Also, here's the usury thing. The Merchant of Venice.

Ramblings of an English Teacher: January 2008

http://tvhsramfan.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html

Ramblings of an English Teacher. Tuesday, January 29, 2008. Why I love my job. I spent the last hour doing what is one of my favorite parts of my job. And it reflects my favorite part of teaching because it was so genuine. And it only happened because both my colleague and I have been able to form relationships with these two kids. And ultimately, that is what it is all about. Monday, January 28, 2008. The other day I read a new blog entitled "A vision of revision" posted by a friend of mine. As usua...

Ramblings of an English Teacher: Trying to do it all

http://tvhsramfan.blogspot.com/2008/05/trying-to-do-it-all.html

Ramblings of an English Teacher. Friday, May 09, 2008. Trying to do it all. I am on a quest. I am tech savvy. I have no problems using technology. Heck, my dad and brother had me programming in Basic when I was 6 years old That means I have been actively using computers for 30 years! But that's all I do. I use it. And sometimes I actually use it in my classroom. One of my goals this spring was to fully integrate quality writing instruction. So my quest is to add all those tech elements in for next year.
