Winter break is a couple of days away, and I can't wait to hear that final bell ring on Friday. I've been so distracted lately. Teaching is my passion, don't get me wrong, but I'm in a burn out zone right now. With so much stress happening in my personal life, I'm kind of fixating on seeing my family and creating some happy memories with them. It's important to me that my girls spend time with their family.
As far as what we're doing in class, we're reading Lord of the Flies. The majority of my students seem to be having a difficult time reading and understanding what is going on. William Golding's writing, as far as the mechanics and structure of it, is a lot more complex than what they're used to.
But the few students who are reading and comprehending and analyzing keep motivated. It's nice to see students truly engaging with the themes and central ideas of literature.
