August

It's halfway through August and I have not made one post. Partly because it's August and I was on vacation, and partly because it's August and school starts in WAIT, HOW MANY DAYS?!?!?!?

Although today I'm feeling more sleepy than anything. In the digital-millenial-Internets age, lesson plans have been replaced by PowerPoint slides. I can't imagine my college professors teaching with PowerPoint ("And here, a representation of "the beast from two backs" from Othello!" I think much of literature is best left to the images you see in your own head.) But in business classes, I suppose the visuals make sense. "And here's where you business will break even when you switch to compact florescent lightbulbs!!"

I just had a great idea for one of my lesson plans I have to write that has nothing to do with PowerPoint. Something involving the StoryCorps project on NPR, teaching adults with low literacy levels about oral history, and The Color of Water. I might post them here later on for public use.
