Happy Wednesday!! Today was PB&J Day in the class that I'm teaching. My students tested the instructions they had written explaining how to make Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwiches. I don't like PB&Js (I think they're sticky and just plain gross), but my students seemed to have fun with the activity (plus they each got a free lunch).
I'll probably be spending most of my evening tonight reading. I need to re-read Joanna Baillie's Count Basil before class tomorrow. I like that play, but I think I prefer some of her other works (particularly de Monfort). I like reading the obscure women writers of the Romantic Period....

That sounds like a fun assignment! Did each student test her own instructions, or were they exchanged between students for the test phase?
The students construct sandwiches following someone else's directions. I tried to make the 'usability testing' part of the assignment as realistic as possible....
These kids are lucky. I didn't have fun and engaging writing assignments until I was halfway through high school. Who knows how much different my life would have been if I had some earlier? I might have majored in English instead of physics!
