bad projects
I really should chill out. I’m just not a big fan of anonymous notes but I don’t want to "ban" them. Oh well. That is good advice anonymous noter. I just like to get to know the people who read my stuff. I almost feel like I have a relationship with them. But I should chill out about it…this is only for fun after all.
I had some lousy Black History Month projects today that really demoralized me. I told my class to pick someone "of importance" and to avoid pop stars. I forbade some ridiculous topics (Hot Boyz, Lil Kim, etc) but somehow a few of them snuck back in on presentation day. Because I get so little work from some of these kids I at least let them present what they had.
"Eazy E is aiight cuz he said ‘fuck tha police’. He wuz one hard nigga."
But my sixth period came through with the good topics: Carter Woodson, Tupac, the Tuskegee airmen, the march on Washington…
Thank you for keeping the hope alive sixth period…thank you so much.
