Your "forgetting" comment reminded me of last week: I completely and totally forgot to prepare for a class--no novel, didn't even start said novel that *I* assigned, no thought whatsoever about the class until 5 minutes before while walking down the hall.
So basically teaching is drafts and swearing? How hard could that be?
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good tool. And I think your diagram fairly represents teaching, especially swearing at projector. I've done a lot of that this semester.
ReplyDeleteYes, swearing is number one. What about self-loathing and drinking coffee? What about sitting in your office? What about surfing the internet?
ReplyDeleteThis is pretty much my teaching mode as well. No wonder I can't breathe.
ReplyDeleteAnd what about blogging to avoid grading, which is what I'm doing right now.
ReplyDeleteA brilliant post.
I must use this Venn tool in the future.
Love this representation of teaching.
