12/1: prepping and planning

Preparing for one of my classes tomorrow meant making cupcakes for them this evening.  Usually I order the cupcakes from a local bakery, but one student is vegan and I didn't feel like querying the bakery about their ingredients, so I decided to make the cupcakes myself.  It's been a nice break from reading and grading.

And I realized that I needed to come up with an in-class activity for the picturebooks seminar on Thursday.  It was fun to poke around my mental bookshelves and decide to use a book with a very quirky aesthetic, Sara Fanelli's Mythological Monsters.  I'll be interested to see what the students make of it.
