8/31: first time

In my Gender Studies class today we discussed Mark Twain's Diaries of Adam and Eve. It was my first time teaching the text, and--oh--what a pleasure. Twain's so smart. And hilarious.

I remember that one! When I was a freshman in high school our English teacher would read to us on rainy days for a change of pace. This is before teachers taught for state testing the way they do here in California. One day he read that.

How great that you know the text, too! I first experienced it as read-out-loud, as well, and I think that it works especially well that way.
