So whatcha..whatcha ..whatcha want??

Tis the season to be most giving in affections and gifts. So, my gift to you is the gift of listening not just hearing. You may ask yourself or the stranger sitting next to you " but aren't listening and hearing the same...stupid silly teacher."  Alas, they are not. Hearing is a basic function of your ears dealing with vibrations and such ( I could go into much more depth than this, but really I don't want to come off showy.) Listening is actively focusing on what the person is saying and deriving meaning from it. So my gift to you, essentially, is focusing on the words coming out of your mouth or, in this case, your finger tips.  You all know I love music...all sorts of music. So tell me what band and song you would like to see posted on this blog in the new year. I will try my hardest to get as many up as I can and continue to use them in class when time allows.

So make like a Beastie Boy and tell me whatcha want.....

Lyrics....

State of Massachusetts

She had excuses and she chose to use them,

She was the victim of unspeakable abuses,

Her husband was violent, malicious, and distant,

Her kids now belong to the state of Massachusetts

Due 12/17......Run by Collective Soul ( MY FAVES!!!!!!!!!)

Panic Switch

blue shine bleeds into my eyes

but white noise can't leave the scene behind

Hello all.....

Start spreading the word via text, mouth, sky writer, whatever you choose that the Renaissance test is being moved to Wednesday, December 8th due to my absence the other day. We will review the remainder of the poems on Monday and I will field any questions you have pertaining to any poets/poems.

My head is stuffy and my cold medicine has quit working, so that's all I gots for now....
