Nice this morning, slept with the air conditioner off and listened to North Carolinians shoots off fireworks well into the fifth (see what I did there?). Today:
9-11:30 / Overview of week two (Barbara Bonham)
1 - 4 / Intro to group project on teaching and learning
Last week, we all had to choose a special interest group. The options were: administration, math, reading, and writing. Since "things I like on TV" wasn't an option, I went with "administration." The writing teachers here aren't just writing teachers. One guy is "rhetoric," another is a folklorist, and there's several other variations. I really just like the nouns and verbs part. Don't get me wrong - I like writing, and I like to teach writing, but I prefer to talk about grammar, and I couldn't see myself sitting through too many discussions on the tao of the protagonist or the role of the trickster. At least not in a professional setting.
