Thoughts On Teaching

Just in case anyone’s interested, here are my first semester finals. I’ll debrief how they went later. Since I change things almost about every year, I don’t have a problem posting these here for all to see. If you’re of the same mind, let’s see what you’ve got. If you want to use these, feel free. I’d like to hear your thoughts and/or see what your finals looked like.

Anecdote, Memorized, Group Survey, Whatever, two rounds of Impromptu, and a Skit later, we ended the semester with a debate (students voted for the Skit and Debate to be among our final projects).

All discussion the last several days has been about a set of quotations I provided them from The Crucible. After much discussion and my evaluation of their final thoughts on quotation work from the first two acts of the play, we ended with a bit of timed writing.
