Student-teaching day 23

I expected it but somehow it was still disappointing. Some still thought they were just going to choose 1 activity even after I reiterated a million times that they had to do both and that I expected 2 sheets.

Ma’am said I should be strict with deadlines and not accept late papers. But some pleaded and pleaded and one of them suggested a 5-point deduction just as long as I still accept his paper tomorrow. It WAS better than a 0, so I agreed.

AND they still hadn’t read CanTales so we ended up reading in class anyway.

They were perceptive. Some were snickering at the knight and other characters whenever I pointed out something, or reminded them of their description of the character. We didn’t have enough time to do the descriptions activity because at one point, they were arguing amongst themselves if the Wife of bath was a flirt or not.

We also discussed the pilgrimages per se, and the General Prologue itself. I told them I’ll give a test the next day because they should’ve read it, and the test would be so they would read it again at home.

Search and Search

I spoke with Anna a couple of weeks ago and she said she was planning to take residency in California. I’d like to visit her some time but then I’m worried about California vacation rentals. California isn’t the cheapest place in the U.S. However, I’m sure I’ll be able to find an affordable one. I DO want to visit with her if ever she did go there and work there. After all, she IS one of my favorite people.

Speaking of being able to find an affordable one, I remember when we went to Laguna to go swimming. The price ranges of the “resorts” — that is, private houses with a swimming pool– were pretty exorbitant, but we looked through the crooks and crannies of Laguna, and lo and behold– cheap private pools!

Lesson learned: Look harder! What’s not seen is probably better. :)

Procrastination Plan

No, I’m not planning to procrastinate. I’m already doing a good job at it.

I have a plan to write about procrastination.
