Week Two nearly down

Isn't it funny how you just get back into the same old routines? I've already got three classes worth of marking to do and I am already finding ways to try and put it off. In saying that I have got onto it and am just doing it...well apart from the slight hiccup of blogging instead of hauling out my pink pen and marking.

I am going to be more onto it this year and I think I have made a dent in that resolution. My 203 class is already working and are doing a good job. It's only taken me two years to figure out how to do that so I think we can assume I might be a bit of a slow learner.

But I love that the 201 and 301 are rocking into it. I made the Year 13s read the first chapter of 1984 and a few now want to read the whole book. We can chalk that puppy up as a success. How miserable it is may have intrigued them. And the whole language term pop quiz thing made the 201s happy and I even managed to rock out a game of it for them.

Anyway back to the formal writing, reading logs and theme study marking. The pink pen waits for no man.
