Okay, I apologize for not attending the first TA meeting of the quarter, but I have failed at SKYPE! After spending a good part of the morning trying to download it onto my computer, I realized that it was just not going to happen. Reason: my computer is just too old and too slowto cooperate. Me=FAIL! Well, I am going to have to wait until Tom comes home on Friday so that I can download it onto his computer, and hopefully I will be able to join you all for the next Tuesday TA meeting. :)
Next, how was everyone's first two days of teaching? Mine went pretty well, with only a few minor hiccups. First, my students are really struggling with the whole concept of getting into workshop groups and opening up with one another about their ideas and analysis regarding the readings, but I know that that will only take some time to work through. But on an awesome note, I read through my students' papers ("What I expect to learn in ENG 107") and they were so positive. They really are a good class and a great bunch of students. But, I am not afraid to admit that I am still completely scared as heck. When does that fear end?
Week 3!
ReplyDeleteLet me begin by saying, Rachel, we missed you at the first TA meeting too... and now, let me say, you do know it is October 19th right? (just teasing you). Tell us what's happening in your class!
