I don't teach high school, but if I did I would use Lynn's lesson in a heartbeat. I also think it would make a great dinner party game...any takers to break out the vino post-baby and dissect New Yorker covers with me? I didn't want it to end, but I'm glad it did, Lynn, because the poem you showed us was excellent as well.
Assumptions:
-Lynn believes in THINKING
-Tone, parody, and satire are important skills to navigate media
-Multiple points of view are expected, welcome, and encouraged

I have a better idea Anna. Let's collaborate and develop this into some sort of board game. We'll market it, make a fortune, start our own school and retire and enjoy our kids early in life. Oh, and write the book I've always wanted to write.
ReplyDeleteRobin and Anna---Go for it! I just bought my little piece of "Near Appalachia" paradise (ten acres right next to a junk yard, and I am not kidding about that but it's beautiful anyway), so I don't need money. You guys can split all the profits and do exactly what Robin is suggesting---enjoy those beautiful kids you have and will be having.
