I never liked doing school work. But if I had to pick good things I did it would be memorizing the Preamble (good for kids), building a decomposition column out of plastic bottles and having a goldfish in the water at the bottom, the water that was filtered through the column. I made a killer poster about pandas in fifth grade. Playing a pretends-with-dice about colonization of Jamestown/the Pilgrims, Invent a new law and give a persuasive speech about why the class should vote for it. All of these were in middle school.

WOW inventive teachers

I'm afraid the programming is a bit beyond my reach, but that dice game sounds fun.

Right now my students are doing a comparative literature essay using A Study in Scarlet ( Arthur Conan Doyle) and A Study in Pink ( new BBC series Sherlock)

You really should watch the new Sherlock on PBS

A lot of people have told me that, but I do a lot better with mysteries when reading them in novels. I don't really enjoy mysteries on TV because I always miss little things, whereas if I read them then I get the same info as everyone else. I have friends who are really enjoying it though.

This one has a feature you might like. As Sherlock is examining the room, pop up windows appear showing you all the clues he's getting.

Oooh, fun! I really enjoyed the first run of Sherlock.

So far it's going fairly well... they seem to like it. I was trying to come up with some ways to make the comparative literature unit more fun

So do you think that schools should require above average writing skills to graduate or just the bare minimum?
