Getting Student Input on the Burden of Homework

https://www.edutopia.org/article/getting-student-input-burden-homework?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=socialflow

Imagine that you have a full-time job that requires you to be at the office for seven to 10 hours a day, and your boss tells that you that you will also need to work offsite on nights and weekends. After a few weeks, the after-hours projects are taking anywhere from five to 20 hours a week, and you find that you don’t have a free minute. Your job performance and your home life suffer—you’re only sleeping five hours a night, and you missed a family celebration. Unfortunately, this is the only job you’re qualified for, so you can’t quit.

If you’re a high school student these days, this is your job.

How We Can Differentiate Amid Academic Diversity

https://www.middleweb.com/37346/how-we-can-differentiate-amid-academic-diversity/

Some of our students require reading support, while others are reading well beyond grade level expectations. Some are more comfortable expressing themselves in writing, while others prefer to articulate their ideas through discussion, and still others are most comfortable sketching.

National Poetry Month: Poem #22

Romeo and Juliet, 1968, Franco Zeffirelli

 

Romeo & Juliet, Act 2 Scene 2, spoken by Romeo

But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief,
That thou her maid art far more fair than she:
Be not her maid, since she is envious;
Her vestal livery is but sick and green
And none but fools do wear it; cast it off.
It is my lady, O, it is my love!
O, that she knew she were!
She speaks yet she says nothing: what of that?
Her eye discourses; I will answer it.
I am too bold, ’tis not to me she speaks:
Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
Having some business, do entreat her eyes
To twinkle in their spheres till they return.
What if her eyes were there, they in her head?
The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars,
As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven
Would through the airy region stream so bright
That birds would sing and think it were not night.
See, how she leans her cheek upon her hand!
O, that I were a glove upon that hand,
That I might touch that cheek!
