My students are doing my work for me! For their projects, the kids read either 13 REASONS WHY, SPEAK, BREAKING POINT, TWISTED, NINETEEN MINUTES, or GIVE A BOY A GUN. They wrote fascinating papers exploring the causes, effects, and warning signs of teen violence. I had everyone keep a journal, and I interviewed four of them several times throughout the unit. So much information! Where to start? Just so you know, transcribing audio interviews is not fun. :P
In baby news, I'm 10 weeks today! 3 weeks before our next scan. Kid might actually look like a human being by then!

So exciting about your baby!
Wow, transcribing that would be hard!
Ergh, have fun transcribed. And congrats on the baby!
hang in there - I am sure 3 weeks seems long. I bet you are a cool as hell teacher :)
So that is one plus-side of being a teacher: free minions. I mean student-workers.
Yay for baby :)
I love charts too! In some ways, I am a very organized person (in many other ways: not) and I always love to organize my thoughts via chart form. Maybe that means that I am a visual learner.
Anyway, congrats on the baby news! How exciting!
I've yet to meet a teacher who doesn't have a fondness for charts. It runs in our blood.
Cool project & VERY cool news on the baby front!!!!
