Full Circle
My last cooperating teacher used to say that the classroom should be suffused with humor. To that end…
- I introduced poetry terms including: rhyme scheme, rhythm, catalogue imagery, tone, and apostrophe this week by writing World of Warcraft poetry. If students didn’t know about World of Warcraft, they received a crash course.
- Friday was November 007th according to my objectives board.
- “Yao!” was how we ended our class this week after we’d gone over objectives and assignments for the poetry unit.
Some of these things are just odd, but on Friday, I had a teacher tell me that her students all know how to do the Mong Kok Cockroach Disco Dance. A student came in asking when his class would get to write World of Warcraft poetry.
