Yesterday was a great day

Yesterday, which is my longest day of the week, I felt like all three of my classes rocked. My first class, I had planned to show a video and then discuss, but at the last minute, I decided the video wasn't going to work. I switched to just discussing stuff, and the discussion was incredible. Really great students. The second class, which has moments where it seems to suck the life out of me, was really good also. The last class, which is my graduate class, had a lively discussion and really went well. Rather than feeling completely drained, I left after that marathon day feeling really charged. It was a great day.

I'm showing a video in at least one of my classes later this week called The Wave. Wow, what a great critical thinking exercise (though ethically questionable). If you haven't heard the story, click here to see the made-for-tv video on YouTube.
