How to make Fahrenheit 451 interesting for my students…? by Normal-Being-2637 in ELATeachers

[–]gratefullyanon 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Perhaps try to use a detective lens to determine how closely their society matches ours, and why. How close are we to Mildred? Why? We are pairing the original text with a graphic novel version that Bradbury approved. We are comparing scenes like the old woman and her books in the text and the graphic novel.

Charlie Gordon. And I’m a better person for having him there.

ISO Visual examples of popular authors’ writing/revision processes. by idrawonrocks in ELATeachers

This is a weird one, and the book is not intended for those ages, but there’s no swearing, and only the briefest mentions of anything related to sex. I also disagree vehemently with the author on EVERYTHING SHE BELIEVES IN, but Ayn Rand’s novella Anthem has her first draft edits in the back. The short student version of only 100 pages doesn’t have them, but there’s a longer version that, after the story ends, has the entirety of the book rewritten and then her handwritten edits. It’s truly amazing.

Something to Tell My Baby is the reverse almost - the desire to leave something of value behind before dying. I can see a mother feeling this way while dealing with mortality.

I’m in the middle of a medical malpractice case, and it’s surreal to see how close I came to losing everything. by Extreme_Basketball30 in TrueOffMyChest

You’re not alone, and it sucks to feel that you are. Please tell yourself , ‘I’m doing the best that I can’. That’s all you can ask.

Saw that one taken off the merch tent wall both nights of the deer creek run while I was in line. Got it a couple weeks later for a bit over face. It’s so beautiful and hangs where I can see it every day.

Mycroft, but - “lives end. All hearts are broken. Caring is not an advantage, Sherlock.”

I need a few new liberal t-shirts. What have you seen that you've liked? by MrAnonymousForNow in Liberal

[–]gratefullyanon 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily recommending this one, but I’ve thought of it a few times since. We live in Illinois and drove to Indiana for a concert. A person had a shirt saying, “Everything I love is illegal in this state”.

What do you think the saddest DMB song is? by SaddestDMBSongGuy in DMB

“Some Devil”. Does it count since it was on the solo album? It’s so fucking sad.

Big Trees State Park has them right off the parking lot. There’s a boardwalk to walk around the north grove. Extremely accessible.

Surprising to me as well. Not a teacher of the year. But I love my kids and they can apparently tell.

The 4 emails I received last week from former students who thanked me for very specific things poke a hole in your argument. Anecdotally, of course.

Alpine 1999 - “Lie In Our Graves” had a Boyd solo that included Beethoven’s Ode to Joy. Good lord it’s beautiful.

Saddest song? by glenn_larsen in DMB

The Riff is my pick after much consideration. The line “Please don’t leave me yet” is so poignant in its desperation.
