In my never ending effort to make the study of rhyme scheme edifying for us all, we used song lyrics to learn the concept today. We had Beatles, Prince, a stanza of Nas, and some Marvin Gaye. Listen in...
- Educat attempts to uncover meaning in Prince's Sign O' The Times
"So what do you think it means when the author says 'In September, my cousin tried reefer for the very first time, now he's doing horse, it's June.'?"
Silence
...at last a quiet voice dares to speculate....
"Umm....did he quit weed and become a jockey? I mean, it says he's on horse, so he rides one, right?"
- Educat and Class expound upon Eleanor Rigby
We have wrapped our head around the possiblity that Father McKenzie is a bit self centered. After all, poor Eleanor is right there, cleaning in the church. For that matter, why does Eleanor never reach out to McKenzie?
"What, then, do you think is the answer to the question that the author asks? Where do the lonely people come from?"
And an answer comes from the boy who hasn't answered a question all term.
"England!!"

You forgot to type the last sentence:
"And that's when I realized that all my work had paid off."
Matter of fact, that may be the sentence you should use to finish every post about teaching.
Think about it.
Thanks, Marty, it's worth remembering.
