“A Few Honest Words” by Ben Sollee feat. DJ 2nd Nature

Does anyone else think Twitter would be a fun resource to use in a language classroom?  Express yourself in 140 characters or less… makes you stretch your vocab muscles!

I also want to find a way to incorporate Six-Word Stories into my language class.  These, however, are projects that will have to wait until later on in the semester.  Once my head resurfaces from underwater.

I wrote the following “To-Do List” Saturday morning, then hit “Save” instead of “Publish” (because I’m brilliant like that).  You can see how much I have accomplished since then…  although I should acknowledge the fact that I planned out what I was going to teach in Sunday school this morning, and had a semi-successful lesson (I did get to say a thing or two about prayer in between all the stories about my new baby sister and my dog ate a bug and I went to see a movie yesterday and look at my dress, it’s pretty and I can sing a song do you want to hear it here it is!)

This weekend:

• get caught up on grading (*edit* though by no means “caught up,” I did grade the level one quizzes yesterday)
• create an innovative, inspiring, intrinsically-motivating compare/contrast two video news clips in the target language lesson for my upper-level classes
• find relevant assignments for my upper-level classes to use the class blog I made them set up
• organize lessons for my level-ones
• play with Google Reader and organize my blogs
• write at least five pages (of the 15 more I need) of my Master’s dissertation

This week:

• be involved in Homecoming activities
• attend a football game, which I have told my students I was going to do the last two home games
• create and turn in the Emergency Lesson Plans I should have turned in two weeks ago
