blogging with my students

I've obviously failed miserably at my 21 days experiment. But blogging with my students is a great opportunity to help me keep on track.

My ENG106 students are working on their first contributions to our class blog. They're writing responses to Toni Morrison's "Recitatif." And I could just smack my own head, because I just realized that I forgot to discuss the title with them before they started writing. Ah well...such is the excitement of a classroom -- it's always live.

In other news...I had one committee member tell me (via e-mail) that my project is coming along nicely. A marked up copy is waiting for me in my campus mailbox. I'll revel in "nicely" for a few days before I actually pick it up and see exactly what that means.

There is really nothing else to report. Now I really feel like a student -- struggling to fill that eight minute timed freewrite.
