Weekly reflection EXAMPLE
Blog post
Date: 3/9/16I am working on setting up my poetry blog. I am hoping that if I set it up, I will actually accomplish writing something. But this remains a hope. This week I did get the design of the blog set up. It is pink. It doesn't have any static pages yet. I think I will have a poetry page, an idea page, and a possible longer writing page. I have 2 ideas floating around in my head regarding poems. The first one is titled "38 things you do for me". (I hope to have this one done by the end of school. But in order to do that I need to make sure it is done by the end of April as May gets crazy.) The second one is based on a news article I saw a while ago. I am sad that they won't be preserved and are being "removed" for a bridge. But such is progress. I am fascinated by this idea. Here is the link: Tucson footprints so old.

| ancient Footprint-- Who was this person? |
Alas it is a good start and I must realize the reasons it is not farther along. First, I am working to get all of my students' work graded as grades for the end of the quarter come out next week. I am working on planning a unit for the juniors around the novel Snow Falling on Cedars, while trying to understand our district's standards and how to adjust them. I am working on trying to keep my Seniors on track and motivated. We just finished the novel 1984 and will complete the summative next week. And I am trying to plan the graduation speech unit in such a way that students who wish to can audition to speak at graduation, and I'm still waiting on the schedule for the testing week after spring break. My creative writing class is just starting to write their scripts and they are panicky because I am not letting them freewrite the scripts, taking it step by step. I am also working on next quarter's ideas: Short stories or The Hobbit, writing basics or hero's journey? And the icing on this busy cake is my family. Next week I hope to have at least one poem written. I will also evaluate whether or not to upload an already written poem.
