It has been a long semester. As I put my jumbled-up thoughts into words, I know there is still quite a lot more to do. I've got to finish my screenplay, finish grading, clean up my desk/home/life, and somehow make it to the weekend. This semester has been a whirlwind of good, bad, ugly, and awe-inspiring. I am grateful for it and glad it is over.
I have been blogging at Freshman Seminar for Success like a mad woman. My aim was to paint a portrait in a few words of each student and link to the blogs they created for their final projects. Reading their posts and evaluations truly touched me, and I am such a better teacher for having lived through this semester with them.
Here's to summer. Scott and I heading are south for family-centric adventures and Los Angeles freeway-driving. I filled up my gas tank yesterday, paying $48 for just over 11 gallons of gasoline. Oh, San Francisco. I love you.
I FINALLY remembered to read your other blog and check out the blogs of your students...so cool! What a great project and I love how much you learned through the process. Are you teaching this class again next semester and if so, will you be doing the same kind of project?
