Absolute Genuis

Dear Confusia,

I'm not one to compliment myself, (in fact, some would say that I'm one to tear myself down) but I must tell you that my new plan for teaching this year is brilliant.

I have found that if I give the girls assignments and then have them teach the rest of the class what they've learned, I am absoluetly unnecessary in the whole education process. For instance, these are my lesson plans for today:
Mythology: the girls are researching the Greek goddesses and then they will perform "Oprahesque Interviews" to teach about each other about the goddesses.
Shakespeare: the girls have read short story versions of select plays. Now they are working on creating plays to teach the rest of the class these stories.
Leadership: the girls will have a guest speaker from a local abused women's law advocacy group come speak to them about service learning opportunities.
What is my role in all of this? I pretend to watch them and write in the blog.
Tell me, what do you think?

It is genius, yes. I'm going about things a little differently this year, too. Now that I have a white board, I can actually teach the In-House kids something. It's hard to do when you're drawing diagrams on post-it notes held up in the front of the classroom! ha ha
So I've been doing stuff about Shields. I have the old castle thing up again, but instead of knights, I'm teaching them about how to protect themselves from all the dangers that exist for them. Naturally, I designed a shield, too. Unfortunately, I couldn't be entirely honest about what I use to defend myself against the dangers of the world. Otherwise, the middle part of my shield would have been me propping my leg up on a treasure chest, while holding up for the camera a prescription bottle of Paxil! ha ha ha

I think that you should also be able to use the punishments and consequences of the feudal system as well. "You're not going to want to make Mistress C angry. I assure you of that!"
