Hour Two is Honors English 9, which seems to be very similar to the class that Schultz taught me back in the day. I'm still sitting among the natives, S had these kids do the same reading assignment over break. The 9th graders are pretty funny, so far I've seen two of them wearing new Christmas clothes that still have their tags attached.
I was given a special assignment for this block: to read two short stories by Langston Hughes and Nella Larsen. I was told to help her determine teach them as part of a Harlem Renaissance section, rather than Death of a Salesman. It's weird that a high school teacher can much such a huge change in the schedule with only 11 days left in the semester. I thought that this would be the kind of thing that they would have had figured out for a while. I would flip if one of my professors decided to make a change like that. I guess college students tend to care more because we have to buy our books. I do advocate reading Langston & Larsen by the way.
