oops

First of all, let me take a moment to apologize profusely to my Creative Writing class, who were denied whatever value they may find in my presence this morning due to the fact that, when I awoke, it was already 8:39.

I do not really know how that happened. I have two back-up alarms, and they were not bleating (as they ought to have been) at 8:39. How they were not is something I will need to explore. How to safeguard against a repeat of this morning is also something I will need to determine. But for now: I am truly sorry, CW-ers (and also E3H-ers), for my lack of being there.

As to today...

Well, in the one E3H class we did have, we spent the time really playing with the two poems we merely touched upon in second period. Nice job, Iain and company for that discussion. {Yep, Iain, you got a blog shout-out. ;-) } And in the E2H class...well let me just say that from my perspective that was one of the more remarkable conversations I've had with a sophomore class in about three years. Excellent questions, excellent thoughts. And it's only the fourth day of school! I hope it was that way for all; if anyone was at all uncomfortable, please let me know. I don't want you to be.

So, where are we? Well...not much new in the HW department today. The only new thing is that E3H-ers need to read the metapoems that they will find on the yellow page at the link on the E3H page. Print them out if you'd like to.

If you missed this video over the summer, you really missed something. By far the best thing I have seen in years:
