Day Eighty

The assignment my World students are currently completing is illustrating how different the vibe is in each of my three sections of the course. My Block 1 students sprawled about the classroom in small groups- some on the floor, some at the tables- and tackled the work collaboratively, figured out for themselves when they needed breaks, didn’t need much from me at all. My Block 2 students worked independently and almost completely silently; I answered a question here and there, that was it. My Block 4 students were all over the map: some groups, some independent workers, some in the hall, some in the classroom, all really vocal (either to ask questions or to express their reaction to the information they were learning... my favorite quote today was, “It’s amazing how much you know if you do the work!”). But I think the assignment is going well across the board; students are engaged and they’re getting a lot out of it, from what I can tell so far. So yay for that!

A couple of seniors came by during Block 4 with a petition to try to convince the school board to allow more spectators at winter sports (it’s limited to players’ immediate families right now). Some of my students were working in the hall, and these two interrupted their work to ask them to sign the petition, so I told them to move along. They were definitely annoyed, and I’ll admit that my tone was sharper than it needed to be, so I asked them to see it from my point of view; they’re interrupting my class without asking my permission, it’s disrespectful of my time. So then one of them asked permission, and I gave it. Easy. Lesson learned. 

I don’t think their petition will succeed since the spectator limitations are a pandemic response thing, but they can certainly try.

Anyways, what else did I do today? I taught some more about environmental policymaking in GOV. Students read about the Paris Agreement and listened to President Biden’s speech at COP26. Then we talked about how some of the steps the Biden administration wanted to take in order to uphold the agreement were included in the Build Back Better act, which they know died in the Senate before Christmas. It’s a good illustration of friction between the branches. Students didn’t want to discuss it as much as I thought they would, but it’s fine, some days are just like that. I ended class slightly early, that’s all.

Then I went down to the culinary room for some excellent chicken tortilla soup, a sandwich, and a cupcake. Delicious!
