Dare I?
Apparently, give me a little vacation and some extra sleep, and I start to go a little crazy. Students will waltz into my classroom on Monday, and I am considering doing something I rejected years ago—teaching writing in response to current events, like this upcoming presidential election.
Take the dare! Sounds like a great lesson and not only are you enforcing writing, you are getting your students involved in current events and politics - something that we, as teachers, should strive for.
