Wednesday, Sep. 30
Okay. This is more like it.
I think today’s recording represents a pretty standard Matt Thomas class. It’s also 3rd period, and they didn’t know I was recording today. It helps.
Anyway, today it’s all about reinforcing the writing instruction we’ve been working through in the past weeks, as well as thinking about “larger than life” characters, or what Melville calls “pageant creatures.” Who are they? Why are they the way they are? Is it nice to have people like that around?

I love how you can hear some of the students comments and they don’t realize you can hear their every word. it’s priceless.

Yeah, that’s sort of the point of the mic set-up I’m using right now, but it still needs some tweaks. I like the whole “conversation collage” aspect, but since I’m the awesome authority figure I feel the need to dominate the recording, perhaps via lavalier mic. We’ll see about that.
I feel sort of encouraged that both Hall AND Oates are regular listeners. (FTR, I always preferred Oates.)
