Happy President's Day!!
This week in class we are starting to wind up the poetry reading unit in LA1, and the poetry writing unit in LA2. So far, I think the students have enjoyed the Poem of Address the most, and I saw some really deep ideas come from them!
For Valentine's day, I created a "webquest" of Love Poems, and students had to select one and analyze the poem and do some research on the poet. It's been a great project, but I underestimated the time it would take, so it is continuing on into this week!
I loved getting to incorporate some technology into this lesson, which I feel like I haven't been able to do as much this year trying to get adjusted to the textbook...
A sampling of the poems, there were over thirty listed...
Here is a sample student report. Rather than print them out, students posted them on Edmodo so that their class could see, and they will be asked to comment on them and read them. Saves paper, and they get to see each other's work!
*note that Allan is spelled wrong, and I am Mrs. White, but that's ok, whoops! :)
They were also asked to do some research and find six "quotes" from the author.


We are also starting the dance practices for "Guys and Dolls, Jr." so there will be a lot of tap dancing going on! :)
Since I don't share a lot of "non-teacher" stuff, I figured I would share what my life planner looks like. The picture above is already outdated, as I have filled in Monday. It is snowing like crazy here right now, but I got out this morning to exercise, and our Hickory BBQ Beef is in the crockpot and ready to come out in about twenty minutes!
This is my Fitness spread in my life planner, with a list of go to foods for Weight Watchers, as well as my fitness plan and records.
I also of course had to go to Michael's this weekend, so I used up the rest of my Christmas gift card and got these cute items! :)
My washi stash so far...
I hope everyone has a wonderful week!
Amazing intellect of her, really an eye catching up in the material used to write this article. Mrs. Jenifer White always appears with a great topic and check out resume-writing-services.reviews to manage your task. But really this article means a lot and shows us a way to do something. So thanks for sharing this beautiful article and I like the article and hope that others will like it too.
