Tidied my office today, because my world is messy and confused and scattered and I am lost. I have no idea if it will work, but it will probably fake people out. At least there are no longer piles of things lying about. Though I still need to get my computer set up.

Also finished editing and posted a new 9-12 lesson, So What Do You Think? Writing a Review. It’s a well-structured piece on writing book reviews.

The Ideas section for this week’s Inbox focuses on National Library Card Month. Though really, I wrote that yesterday. I always write it the day before though.

swimmy no more

       Stanley
   2003-2005
         RIP


Stanley Fish, know affectionately as “Swimmy” to family members, went to meet his maker on Wednesday, September 7, 2005. :(

Stanley is survived by his sad Spongebob and Patrick tank friends as well as the ReadWriteThink staff.

In lieu of flowers, please send money directly to Traci Gardner. Unless they are very pretty flowers. In that case, send them to me at work, so everyone is jealous.

My prediction…

by  • 

Mark your calendars. I’m making a prediction that the Republicans will use the current problems caused to the oil industry by Katrina to argue that we must open alaska to oil production immediately—and someone will say, at some point, that if we had already done so we would be in less of a mess right now.

Building Teacher Support

by  • 

The Ideas section from this week’s Inbox focuses on Building Teacher Support. A recent newspaper article from The Pantagraph discusses the challenges that new teachers face during the school year. Returning teachers also face many demands in the classroom. This collection of resources suggests ways that teachers can build a supporting community among their colleagues to help ensure a successful (and less stressful) school year.
