Today we read Act IV, which is only a couple pages long and actually quite lame in our abridged version. But it gives us time to read and perform it in class twice, which means everyone will get to participate.
My blog has recently been discovered by a few people:
1. an associate agent with a legitimate literary agency, which was a nice, surprising email to receive.
2. My students.
Oh yes, the power of the internet. Once posted, it's there for good. But I'm glad a few cyber-searching souls have discovered their English teacher doing something worthy:
"Can you believe it? Mr. Wymer reads books and writes stuff on a blog about teaching and traveling and writing these things called novels?"
(GASP)
"And he actually types on a computer and spells everything the right way."
(DOUBLE GASP)
But isn't that what I should be doing? Modeling necessary skills for every profession possible? Even fast food employees have to read and occasionally write something. Plus, there's nothing to hide here at Crossing Chalk. This blog is all about reading and writing, and sometimes just plain old living.
So Chalk Heads, young or old, if you like that sort of stuff, you're in the right place. You might even pick up a nugget of knowledge or get a great book recommendation. Or you might be entertained to the brim and find yourself LOL or ROFL.
(TRIPLE GASP)
"He even knows IM abbreviations for things."
Reading: The Maze Runner, by James Dashner (a page-turning other-worldly kind of story. Shuckface!)
Writing: Working on Bird-Man Street; waiting on several agents' responses on fulls (Crossing Chalk)
Running: (LOL)
