@TeachMrReed "This is a really good poem, Tim. I mean it! You should submit this someplace." I ended up winning a $500 prize the next year for it at college!
& then the professor that judged the contest said, "Hun, you wrote a beautiful poem; I want you to take all of my classes," so I did.

A few of my students were asking about the music I've been playing during our independent work times. If you want some good beats to be productive to, listen to Nujabes!

@kenyonreview Both! I like to write rough drafts at the coffee shop, and then type up those drafts at home. Writing feels more purposeful and personal to me if done by hand initially.

@kenyonreview The Bic Atlantis ballpoint pen is the only one I (un)officially endorse due to its comfort and smearlessness, as well as Moleskine Cahier notebooks for their simplicity, flexibility, and high-quality paper.

Why Are Teachers So Tired All The Time? 😴

Research shows we make about 1,500 decisions a day! The constant requirement to ‘be on’ becomes DRAINING to our brains and bodies. It is called ‘Decision Fatigue’.

This explains a lot!!

@TeachMrReed For my Public Speaking class, I assigned a high-interest assignment (making a podcast for about whatever they want) and paired kids up with similar interests. They are all talking and coming up with great ideas!

As for my core ELA classes, I'm still working on that...

[Academy of American Poets @POETSorg]

Light breaks where no sun shines;
Where no sea runs, the waters of the heart
Push in their tides;

—Dylan Thomas, born #otd in 1914

For the rest of the week, the seniors & I are taking a respite from our research to write some eerie flash fiction for Halloween! Take some time to do something fun in your week :)

My Freshmen and I are working on a Google Slides "scrapbook" about how our year of school went. I decided to include a picture of Freshie Mr. S vs. Quarantine Beard Mr. S.
