Tons of job~ma for you Erin!
So, guess who didn't show during the appointment window?
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I cannot remember what Shakes we got in HS when, but I do remember Julius Caesar and... that's it, actually, but I know that's not right. Crucible was a pretty major part of one semester, I remember, but I don't remember any other American plays.

Tons of job~ma, Erin. I hope you get one of these jobs so that you can relax and enjoy the rest of the summer.
So, guess who didn't show during the appointment window?
Smite them.

We should take you to see some local bands, omnis! I know Mr. J took you to Balcony to hear jazz, but we also need to show you Lee Harvey's, Doublewide, Sons of Herman and Dada.

Thanks, guys!
Ooh, I love King Lear! Also, Antony and Cleopatra. I've not taught them because there are more allusions to Hamlet, and I don't know if the themes would be as accessible to high school students. OTOH, most of my students are highly irritated with ol' Ham by Act III and are seething with the desire to just see him shank himself, already. The end of the play usually provokes satisfaction, not dismay.
(I also love showing the Simpson's version of Hamlet. It's funny as hell, the students love "getting it" and it proves my point of the value of studying the classic because much of modern culture alludes to it. PLus, did I say funny??!)

Because books.
Erin needs an excellent job! Because she is an excellent teacher! And excellent all around! Hear that, universe? ::shakes fist::
We did R&J in ninth grade, actually. I know we did The Crucible, Waiting for Godot, and The American Dream, too (not in ninth grade, though, probably obviously). I can't remember what other Shakespeare we did in high school, though.

Waiting for Godot
I did a college paper on Endgame, and got an A pretty much just for attempting it.
