Wow. I don't know what has happened in the last month.
Romeo and Juliet. We did the play in my literature classes. The students had to perform some sections of the play. Some groups did an amazing, hilarious, creative, and wonderful job. It was fun to watch.
This next week we'll be doing John Donne and George Herbert. I'm so excited!!
We had this past week off of school for China's Labor Day. I didn't do much except grading. I had all my classes turn in papers the Thursday and Friday before our break, so I had about 95 papers (all essays - one class of writing essays and two classes of literature essays) to grade. I finally finished them last night (it took about 5 days in all). Now I just have to look at the research paper my senior students recently gave me. I'm advising three seniors as they write their research paper; the papers are about 16-20 pages long, so I need to get started on those now. Fun fun fun (it actually is; I enjoy grading - it's just that it's a little time consuming. But hey, I'll do anything for the kids).
I did do some sight-seeing yesterday with some sophomore students (though I don't teach them this semester). My teammate and I also went to KTV to sing songs with some of our junior students. That was a lot of fun. I love doing that; I love trying to sing the Chinese songs. I honestly don't know a lot of the American songs. The selection is slightly random.
I recently discovered that I can now view my own blog! I'll try to do better about updating it.
take care,
