Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
10/6: activity
We've read a good number of poems in the Martial class already this semester, and I wanted to think of a way for the students to review them and see patterns among them. So I typed up a bunch of slips: one for each poem we've read, giving the poem's first line and leaving room for a student to write some notes about the poem. Each student then got their own set of slips for all the poems we've read so far and sat quietly, grouping the slips according to similarities of whatever sort they saw among the poems. Then we shared our favorite groupings. I don't think I'm explaining it well here, but I liked it a lot as an activity!
