I've taught for over 32 years, and I can honestly say, "I've never been bored." This week my seventh grade English class has been doing a "Myself" unit. Yes, that is just what it sounds like. Every activity they do revolves around them. This is a great project to do before an upcoming school vacation, e.g spring break in this case. One of the first activities is a categorizing assignment where they are to list at least ten items in each of four categories: ten adjectives that describe them, ten activities they enjoy, ten things that make them blue, and ten favorite people, places, things, or moments. While we were sharing our lists I asked if anyone wanted to share anything from the ten things that make them blue. One young man raised his hand and very seriously stated, "No oxygen".
He's right!
