This semester, I had a small class of advanced composition. We started out with about 12 students, and they were a lackadaisical bunch, except for two very devoted girls who came every time.
Even though I constantly nagged them to work harder, we had a good time.
I raged at them one day that they might be a good class to hang out with, but I wouldn't want my pay based on their grades. (That's something they're talking about doing for elementary through high school teachers in Ohio. Their pay would be based on student performance.)
So on Friday they gave presentations based on the persuasive papers they wrote.
For some of them, it was like defending their doctoral thesis because the other students challenged their premises.
At the end of class, the students said, "Let's take a selfie!"
"I'll take a picture of all of you," I said.
"No, you have to be in it," Madelyn cried.
So we all lined up, and Dan, who is very tall with very long arms, snapped a selfie of us.
What a fun class and a fun memory.
We have one more class, but since they've finished their finals, we make take a field trip to Starbucks, which is within walking distance.

Do you now get the summer off-if so I am green with envy-(a pun on the green eggs) the French celebrate April 1 with fish-which is why you may have seen so many fish-I think we were there the same time-I wonder if we crossed paths. Have a great day.
Selfies are fun...and who knew that camera phones could be such an important part of our lives?
Thanks for sharing....and for visiting my blog.
I too feel selfies are fun. :) It truly frames the essence of the moment.
Have a great Sunday!
They do look a fun group. I would have been difficult to get to work at that age too. I'm still like that at times.
sounds like an interesting job :) I prefer being behind the camera myself
They look like a really sparky group.
I am no good at selfies....
:(
Here is my post
What a great pic. I would love to have had a professor like you.
