Most of last semester--which I was trying to document--has gone by without so much as a tweet, and it is no one's fault but my own. Quite frankly, I was too busy doing everything to make an account of it--or maybe I lacked discipline. Either way, I'm not neglecting this blog any further. I believe I even had a follower or two on feedburner or technorati.
How does a person account for lost time?
Like a medieval scribe, I believe I'll best be able to recount my experiences as a new teacher in a compilatio of many accounts from many people. Maybe if I'm tired I'll jot down a short note and expand it later, or if I'm feeling literary I could relay some of the craziest things from last semester. I'm very tired and fear I sound like I am writing a syllabus. It is evenings like tonight which will probably get a short note in the future!
I'm going to link blogs from my classes to this one. Hopefully that record will stand for a lot of the subtleties for which I might not think to account; I'm teaching two research classes this semester: one for ESL learners and one for first-year American students. I'm looking forward to all of the ideas floating around, but I hope it doesn't lead to too much unscrupulous sharing.
About Me
- Ben
- Though I've traveled the eastern U. S. somewhat extensively, I have lived my entire life in south Central Kentucky... very close to the foothills of the Appalachian mountains. More than anything, I think this sense of place has shaped my worldview to reflect the concerns of my region. I am a former broadcast reporter and current adjunct English Instructor at Eastern Kentucky University, where I also earned a Master's Degree in the English Language. My interests (below) really reflect a lot of things that could be addressed in an "About Me" section.
