SO I'm teaching my students at my school site about non-fiction specifically journals and diary. The lesson was well-purposed but in the end it became chaotic. Directions were unclear or not understood, people's eyes were glazed over and so forth. Well, it reflects on my instruction. Looks like I have a lot ahead of me to work on.
I gave them a charge, to do a reading journal and to see if they could "put themselves in their place" that is look at the perspective of the main character of a book they were reading. Now, I'm not going to follow that prompt but instead I'm going to return to the diary that we explained in class.
A student makes an effort in self-control to stop watching tv for a week to get five extra points on her test.
I think I will see how far I go this week starting today without caffeine.
In fact, this afternoon I was so groggy and tired that I just came home from my student teaching seminar, (which was awesome, thank you Kelly Mack!) laid down on my bed and just passed out. I got awoken by a call but that happens.
Have you ever given up something? What did you you give it up? Why? How did it feel practicing an act of self-control? Would you do it again? Explain.
Well, I'll write later. I've got laundry to do and a movie to watch. Finally. I haven't seen a film in ages.....
If you wanna comment, see if you have answers to my questions. if not, think about it. i mean you're taking time to read my stuff. Might as well make good use of your time cuz I can talk for ages....but you don't have all the time in the world so yeah....
There was a time in my teenage years when I was cussing all the time. I tried the rubberband on my wrist but I think what helped the most is replacing the curse words with some desert names;-)
