As I begin to update my blog with submissions from my private, personal journal, it is important to note that the dates will be off. What I wrote in my journal in September, will have a date of September, October, or November inside.

As we begin to truly get into the full swing of the semester, I really am beginning to see how a simple assignment can have so much value in the grand scheme in my education.
Sure, writing the Biopoem was simple, small, and didn't take a lot of my time, however it was a nice release from over analyzing research on multiple intelligences, reading boring chapters on the founding of the U.S. Constitution that was written over 50 years ago by a dead, white, Christian man!
Writing the biopoem gave me a chance to share a small glimpse into my personality with my classmates. While I am a very vocal person, I feel the entire class wouldn't know about my love for stiletto heels if I didn't let them know myself!
I think introductory activities like these are important for teachers to do with their class so that they can get to know their students and bond with them on commonalities.
I plan on using some activities like the aforementioned so that I can get to know my students and then I will have a better understanding of the type of students they are!
A truly great night this was in class.
