neglected

I haven't meant to neglect my blog, it's just happened. Even now, I don't actually have anything to say. There are 23 days left in cross country season, but who's counting?

I could recount a random event of the last week or so...

In one of my classes, we were reading Anne Bradstreet's "The Author to Her Book" and discussing slant rhyme. She has "roam" and "come" rhyming and I was trying to explain to the kids that in 1678, it's entirely possible that it was not a slant rhyme, but that the vowels were pronounced the same and I started babbling about the Great Vowel Shift and accents and what not. Somehow in the middle of my diatribe, I began speaking in a British accent.

Later that afternoon at cross country practice, I was relaying a bit of the story to another of my students as we ran and again slipped into the British accent. And ran, talking to my girls in said accent for the last mile and a half. I think it was very motivational. They told me I could be the next Keira Knightley.
