Day 4
Things are getting harder but more interesting. I started out my morning with continuing "The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole" and found out that not only did i have to continue but i also had to answer questions based on yesterdays reading. Now despite how annoyed i was i stuck it through and did all of my essay questions for Adrian Mole. I then had to continue on the Hunger Games to find out that i had even more essay questions. I thought that the essay questions would never end but despite all of the odds they did.
I then started on a new book that i've had but haven't used yet. It is called "Freakonomics". This book is an interesting look on economics that you wouldn't usually think of. For example The first chapter though weird explains how a teacher is like a sumo wrestler. Even if they seem to have nothing in common they actually both can cheat at their jobs especially when their jobs are at stake. Including pay raise and the ladder of where they stand in the job world.
This Sunday I managed to do a activity hosted by people in the Free Skool group. The activity they hosted was a card game based on using facts presented by the cards against the other person. This game despite being somewhat a role-playing game was extremely fun because it consisted of attacking and countering the person using only information that you had from the character card and the area card or "scenario card". There was also interesting advantage cards like "Your opponent is drunk" and then they would have to account that they are drunk as well as the current situation.
Don't forget to post everybody.
Oh Yes - the fun of developing critical reading skills! Trust me it will get more fluid - keep up the good communication and cut yourself some slack.
ReplyDeleteYou're going to have quite a bit of fun with Freakonomics. That is a book which many students never get a chance to see. I mean... really, "How is the KKK like a group of real estate agents?" Does it get any better than that?
