bleep eeek aaarrrpp
The title of my post reflects my thoughts as I realized I have only written ONE post for this semester. Horrors...big blogging horrors. Can't seem to do everything in the class I want to do. If I focus on grading quizes and exams, I neglect blogs. If I work on blogs, I neglect the other stuff.Today we did the "When I think of Africa, I think of..." freewriting in preparation for discussing Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart. The TTh class has four African students (three from Zimbabwe, who speak Shona; and one from Nigeria, who speaks Yoruba). Shingi, Batsi, and Charlene all wrote at some point, "When I think of Africa, I think of home." Well, actually, Shingi's was shorter. He said, "When I think of Africa, I wonder what I'm doing here."
I wish we could do an entire African literature class instead of just one novel.
