Am now, we wait. #NationalBoardCertification

I cannot believe my Advisory kids are seniors! I met them in masks and we survived Covid together… don’t tell them, because they’re SPOILT, but they’re pretty great.

As I explained Anglo-Saxon culture to my students, they referred to a mead hall as a mojo dojo casa house… and I will never teach this lesson the same way again.

6. Tim O'Brien, The Things They Carried

Judi Dench was on Graham Norton last night to push her new book about her life and work with Shakespeare. After making the point we quote Shakespeare daily without knowing it, this happened:

“Ope! What’s happening with the Decembirds?” “It’s game day. They’re stunting. Obviously.” 📣🧡🖤

You GUYS. My EDC 202 kids have SPOILT me!!

"Now, Sir Gawain, if ye be as bold as ye claim, meet me on New Year's morn at the Green Chapel, and I shall give you a blow such as ye have given me."

Happy birthday, Ray Bradbury, you were the king of dropping six-page stories a kid could read once in 7th grade English class and be haunted by for the rest of their life

I'm writing today about kennings in Old English. Essentially these are two word-metaphors that were used instead of concrete nouns, and they are exquisite. A ship was a 'wave-horse', the sea was a 'whale-road', the mind was a 'thought-chamber', and the sun was a 'sky-candle'.
