December 11, Day 7
Stage visits with B, S, and B. The form needs to be revamped. Why does it read month, day, and date. It should simply have "date".
Tidied up the shop a bit.
Distributed Yearbook promotional information during lit circle. My students distributed material to all other lit circles. The tragedy of the Yearbook became evident to me at this time. I know now what should happen. Every teacher should spend five minutes with me at the start of every year. They provide their wants and desires and criticisms of the yearbook. They also indicate to me whether their are any events/clubs which they wish to promote. We prepare a schedule of dates at which time they will submit to me the photos and facts that they wish to have featured in the yearbook as a way of encouraging recruitment in the following years. Even at the elementary level. Instead, the annual publication is doomed to a life of cliche generation. It will construct a false reality in which every thing is smiles and lollipops. It won't engage the reader for this reason.
I covered A's classes and we did a fencing lesson, played a game, and watched a film.

December 10, Day 6
PW/ Demonstrated power generation by using the class generator. It's a small copper coil inside a row of magnets. When spun the copper coil generates a sufficiently large charge to power a single light bulb. My homemade aluminum turbine was less effective. Power point entitled "Energy Generation 62".
PW/ Put up yearbook posters and prepared promo packages.

December 5, Day 3
Did the UNICEF needs/wants/U.N. rights activity. I needed more decks of the cards printed out. It works better in pairs with 62 than small groups. Touring the others helped see discrepancies ("needs" and "wants" were tapped to the tables). We discussed cards that should be added and rights. They remembered that something is "scientific" if "it can be tested". Today we did rights "are protected".
Yesterday we spent the day at TECC, no class or teaching. What a mind numbing day, I learned nothing.
