    That is awesome! You will love Seattle; it's one of my most favorite cities to visit in the US. I will be out Friday as well, so no worries! Students will work on vocabulary; you make that up! Enjoy your trip!

 Today I got to class a little late. Thankfully, I came in just in time to hear the beginning of the play "Fences," that we are going to be reading and doing activities on for the foreseeable future. I learned about some of the characters' basic traits and I got a good mental image for the setting of the story. It impacted me by showing me a new perspective on how difficult it really was for African Americans to move up in the sports industry in this time period. I'll use this knowledge to appreciate how far we've came from this type of discrimination in sports. I liked this lesson because some parts of the story were very funny, like they way that Troy said some things. I feel like I've never heard some of the expressions used.\ Today I am feeling less productive than I was on Friday, but it's related to some slight procrastination that I think I can easily build a habit of overcoming.

Jan 9 + Praising and ascending

I only caught the very end of class today, but I came in while we were finishing up listening to the first 8 pages of The Sorrow of War.  I learned about a part of the story, that someone went into an old village and shot an orangutan, then it became a kind of "curse" that was blamed the cause of Kien's entire squadron eventually being killed. (all except him) This impacted me because this isn't how I imagined that the story would start out. I didn't know what to expect, and to get up to speed tonight, I have to read what I missed as well as the assigned homework of pages 8-16. I liked how we were listening to the audio book in the lesson. There wasn't anything to dislike about today's lesson.  I am feeling in-ascension-with-Christ today. I was really late because I kept forgetting stuff at home and this kept frustrating me. I let the enemy get to me about the rain and how many times I was turning around, but then on my third trip to school this morning, I...

 Today, we read an article about an interview done over 50 years ago with Martin Luther King Jr., and also watched the interview that the article is based on. The interview shows King's view of the at-the-time situation of racial inequality in America, three years after his famous "I have a dream" speech. I learned a lot about MLK, as well as a different view of how he was working things out back when (illegal yet present) segregation was much more prominent in society. This impacted me by King providing a lot of deeper insight on the problems of society at the time, ways I hadn't looked at it before. I liked what King brought out about the emancipation proclamation being "freedom yet famine." I have a much more detailed appreciation for MLK now after this lesson. I liked this lesson, because it was a change-up from what we are usually doing every day now. There wasn't anything to dislike about the lesson, other that its a long block day, but that's ...
