I sense disaster. . .

It all is going good until is isn't.

Actually, today was a good day, but I sense the messy time coming when things fall apart before they come back together. It doesn't help that we won't actually meet as a class for over a week because I have to go to English Council on Wed and we are having student conferences next week. We spent the first 25 minutes going over logistics.

Next, I asked students to get into groups of 3 to discuss Berger. The discussed what they saw as Berger's project, climax, and 1-2 other writer elements from our class writer vocabulary. Then we got in a circle and had a big conversation about what they found. I really wished I had more time with them and Berger. This essay is so complex and rich and I had to keep fighting my desire for them to understand it all completely.
