This week is the last week
before exams and the level of stress in the building among all the students and
the teachers is palpable. And so instead
of droning on and on about losing sleep or eating badly due to stress, let’s
talk about why it is all worth it.
First, it all does
eventually get done.
Second, we are turning out
some great products. My Creative Media
class finished the semester with a bang and while I have been spending quite a
bit of time preparing content and interesting projects for the class, they have
been creating fun promotional videos and really nicely edited book trailers.
And third, as we remember the
great Alan Rickman who brought to life one of my favorite characters in all
literature, if all of this work, effort, sweat, (and tears? mine,
mostly and maybe my Juniors who were creating Notecards for their
Research Papers this week) leads to students who love reading (especially Harry Potter) or making movies like Harry Potter and are confident and
comfortable writers, then it is all worth it.
RIP Alan Rickman. Here is a great link to Important Scenes from Severus Snape in Chronological Order:
Good Luck on your Midterms CBA. You know your stuff. You can do this!
