Hee. Now I see the border between Scotland and England being patrolled by morose characters from Jude the Obscure.
'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I love To Build A Fire. We read that in 7th grade English and I loved it.
That's a great story. It's like, "Yay, I got a--FUCK. Okay. Stupid matches. All right! I got a f--FUCK! Fucking snow. Let's try this again. Awesome. Check out my fi--MOTHERFUCK. That's it, I'm killing my dog."
Deb - yes, Hadrian's Wall! And I know how it's spelled, but I was trying to be stealth and not get caught posting when I should be typing up notes.
Hmm. I may include that synopsis for my students. I think they'l appreciate it.
O' course, my mentor teacher probably wouldn't. But my university supervisor takes all her phone calls in her hot tub, with a glass of Scotch to hand, so she'd probably be ok with it.
Ali, I honestly like Hardian better. It's like Eddie Izzard, saying that there really should have a Roman Emperor Fabulous.
Let me know how it goes over, Erin.
Hey! That's actually an idea -- maybe I can take some of the funnier episode recaps of shows my students watch as examples, and for some chapters, my students can try to some up with their own snarky recaps, In groups, maybe, or individual assignments
That's actually a fantastic idea, Erin. Because not only will they enjoy it, the funniest ones will be by the ones who really read and understood what they were reading, you know? And the students'll figure this out when you have them read them out loud to the class.
Yes, I think I will do this. But...I will need your help!
Funny recaps of what students watch. Probably The O.C...and, Jesus, what else? I don't know. I don't have TV. Dammit.
Well, they all probably watch Lost, right? Maybe? Snag some cleolinda action. I don't read the TWoP O.C. recaps, so I don't know whether they have much good material. But there's plenty of Buffy and Angel stuff. Maybe you could just ask them. Randomly ask them to list their favorite three TV shows right now, and then you'll know what're the most popular. Don't tell them what it's for...yet.
