Tuesday Discussions

This tread is for kicking around a little more any of the issues we talked about today including (but definately not limited to)
  • Who is your favorite superhero or villian? (Thanks Lorri for the great demo!)
  • What is private writing? What is public writing?
  • What is a lens and how does it affect how we think about things that are "always true"?
  • How do we take responsibility for facilating ideas in the revision process and not shut people down with too many technical concerns?
  • Is "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" a political statement? Does this statement promote illegeal drug usage?
  • Lorri had a terrific handout for dealing with behavioral problems. How would you use it in your classroom? Would you need to modifiy it to suit your particular needs?
  • How do we get students to reflect upon what we are teaching instead merely review what we are teaching?

I don't think "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" is a political statement. The young man could have been making reference to a bell or musical instrument (such as when you see a sign that says "Honk if you support this group." Now I'm not an attorney, but I'm surprised his attorney didn't think of this argument. Get the word "bong" into a different context.
