Oct. 26th, 2010 11:14 pmTeaching day – I showed my students two well written papers, one a “B,” one “B+” to try to get them to understand connections and transitions. I hoped it helped. During the exercise of looking at their own paragraphs I talked a few students through what their connection should be and I saw the light go on in couple of them. That was good. One student came to see me after class; it is at this point of the semester when they usually start to come to office hours. (and they start asking me when my office hours are and where my office is – it is on the syllabus and on the website – it always makes me want to roll my eyes).
Article on the problems in US National Archives. My historian heart is cringing.
So You Want to Get a PhD. An amusing and true video. Hee.
I watched the second act of “Macbeth” today. I am going to try to watch an act a day. I did take my Norton Shakespeare off the shelf since I wanted to reread some of the lines. Since I first read “Macbeth” fifteen years ago and I’ve never seen a stage version, I forgot a lot.
I don’t usually watch “Glee” – I can’t watch high school shows anymore, especially stylized one but I tuned in for Rocky Horror. And it was fun.
