Sometimes a short week can seem longer.
The usual rhythms of the week are distorted by a day off in the middle. Writing Wedneday continued as usual except that some classes had not seen the end of the movie.. which was what they were going to write on. So.. they watched the movie on Wednesday (the last 10 minutes) and write they papers on Thursday. Not true with the morning classes which had seen the movie.
Today the morning classes got to play 15 questions with analysis. The other class(first period) was into talking about parties and choosing to smoke or not to smoke or drink or not to drink. We were without one of the hot heads so progress was made.
The afternoon classes got a summary of bakery terms. Batter vs dough. muffins and cakes and doughnuts. Baking powder vs yeast. Pans and sheets and mixes. What is in a mix? We looked for some similarities.
In one afternoon class a student brought in a StarWars DVD triva contest.. it didn't get used. He did learn that the voice for Darth Vader was James Earl Jones... It took revisiting 5 times.. it wasn't on his agenda.
The artic senior with the S had a good dance experience at Sadies with the girl from Merced High. In his conversation he only had 4 s distortions in 5 minutes.. (using the dysfluency model to measure) Next time I will chart hashmarks and Os for accuracy and mistakes. Then we will have a percentage. He is happy with his progress and he claims his mom is too.
Have a great weekend
