Teachin' Murder

Multicultural Literature
Day one of discussion. The class has been assigned the "Tell-Tale Heart." Realities faced: I teach in a mall; I teach in a mall being demolished; students don't read; at times, students don't even show up with the book. My revenge? I assign Sophocles' Antigone.

American Literature II
This is a team-taught class, and my "teammate" is ArtBoy. ArtBoy doesn't like Rennaissance painting. Too many images of Baby Jesus. He's going to do most of the talking today on the divine in sublime art. I'll talk Tuesday about Rivera's Marisol--New York subways, apocalypse, and gulf clubs. I'll be happy.

Artboy doesn't like Rennaissance painting because of too many pictures of baby Jesus. Spooky. Similar ramblings found themselves coming out of my mouth this morning in my Comp I class.

Yuh don't like baby Jesus either?
Let's see what happens when they began reading about the war between the angels and God. Any bets?
