JOURNAL TOPIC:
George Bernard Shaw was a famous author who wrote more than sixty plays and won a Nobel Peace Prize for his writing. He was known for having a pretty sharp wit, and at some point he decided to take teachers down a peg by saying, "Those who can't do, teach."
Now, I love a good saying as much as anyone, and heaven knows some teachers earn more respect than others, but it just so happens that Shaw was dead wrong. Before I prove it to you, however, two questions:
1. If you could pick one teacher to do the work s/he assigns, who would it be? Why?
2. What do you think is easier-- doing something well or teaching someone else to do it? Why?
AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. Fahrenheit 451 essay by an author I know really well
3. Essay notes and gathering evidence for the essay final
4. Lit terms review
