do now

[listening to: the long winters, putting the days to bed]

there are a little more then twelve hours left before a horde of unruly monsters descend on my classroom (which really isn't my classroom, but just the space i've dragged my teacher cart to for the next 50 minutes).

this is a horrifying prospect.

i have no idea how to teach a book (or even how to appropriately select a text to teach), i have no concept of how to create a simple unit plan, let alone plan a syllabus for a classroom, and i'm not really sure how i might learn these things.

seems like the kind of fundamental information one would expect to get from a boot-camp for new teachers.

you'd think.

on the bright side, i'm capable of making a kick-ass "word wall," a truly instructive bulletin board, and some mean-as-fuck graphic organizers.

my venn diagrams make grown men cry.
