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
11/30: listening
...to my students' narrated PowerPoints with their close readings of some Latin passages of their choice. I asked them to talk about ways in which the forms, arrangements, and sounds of the Latin words themselves were strengthening meaning. The class did a really wonderful job with this assignment, both in making their own presentations and in responding to their classmates. It's a case where technology--both the PowerPoint program and our class space in Teams--could be used to a good pedagogical point.
