Since I blog, not nearly consistently, it was easy to write about the best day I ever had, in recent memory, as a teacher. I’d blogged about it already.
So, I had a bit more fun with "The Masque of the Red Death" this year during my 10th-grade Honors' Poe unit than I usually do besides setting up the colored strings of lights to coincide with the colored rooms.
I was going to try and memorize and perform the story for the students, but I'd been in a car accident, so that didn't happen.
Instead, I bought all the students masquerade masks from Amazon for them to wear while we read. They appreciated the fact that I bought them something and seemed to enjoy wearing them.
I, too, had a little fun and dressed the part. I hope the kids appreciate the fact I'm willing to embarrass myself for them.
It's important that we remember that our high school students are kids too. They love to play just as much as our elementary kiddos. Sounds like a GREAT day!
