It's A Metaphor, Right?: The End-of-Summer Shadow
http://learningwonder.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-end-of-summer-shadow.html
It's A Metaphor, Right? Thursday, August 13, 2015. Teacher-educator Kelly Gallagher describes late Sunday afternoon as “the 4:00 shadow,” the time when every teacher feels that twinge of urgency to wind up her preparations for the week (. It is a positive feeling, with dysphoric undercurrents—as adrenaline fires up creativity and anticipation of classroom interactions, it also unsettles subtle anxieties from their weekend rest: how will I get this student on board this week? How will students receive it?

http://learningwonder.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-monstrous-preoccupation.html
It's A Metaphor, Right? Tuesday, July 14, 2015. Thank you to Two Writing Teachers. For the opportunity to participate in Slice of Life today! I have been planning a "monsters" unit for my 10th grade students this fall. After a four-year hiatus from teaching this grade, I am eager to return to its standard texts- Frankenstein, Macbeth, Beowulf, Lord of the Flies, Animal Farm. How do we define the monstrous? What or whom do we label as monsters, and why? Dr Cialtron/Flickr: "From Hell n 006". Protagonists ...

It's A Metaphor, Right?: Cross-Compositional
http://learningwonder.blogspot.com/2015/07/cross-compositional.html
It's A Metaphor, Right? Wednesday, July 15, 2015. I spent my first five undergraduate semesters studying music. Though the program was performance-track, I had many opportunities to write, and almost always about music. I wrote about the competing "dictates of structure and expressivity" for a paper on George Rochberg's third string quartet (which, in my youthful assessment, ". My students also enjoy writing about music. It is among the top subjects they choose for their independent writing entries&#...

It's A Metaphor, Right?: September 2015
http://learningwonder.blogspot.com/2015_09_01_archive.html
It's A Metaphor, Right? Saturday, September 5, 2015. When A Child Dies. Thursday evening I read Barbara J. King’s “What Is the Psychic Toll of Gun Violence? In which the author admits her relative insulation, as a white, middle-class woman, from all but the most distant ramifications of violence. While sharing King’s concerns about recent acts of violence in national headlines, I considered that I, too, had avoided direct or even somewhat-distanced experiences with violence. School—on the life of a...

http://learningwonder.blogspot.com/2015/08/friend-and-foil.html
It's A Metaphor, Right? Saturday, August 29, 2015. I can think of few (good) books that lack character foils. I am thinking now of. Foils, not foe-foils: Huck and Jim, Ralph and Piggy, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, Watson and Holmes. The best children’s literature features odd couples, too: where would. Charlotte’s Web, Winnie the Pooh,. The Wizard of Oz. Be without the mismatched-pals dynamic? Terry Spencer Hesser’s Kissing Doorknobs. And Laurie Halse Anderson’s Speak. Uniquely, I Will Save You’s.
