NECTAR IN A SIEVE Let’s review our vocabulary for Chapter 23-24. Come up with three different sentences in your head using at least one vocabulary word per sentence.
VOCABUARLY Sample sentences: After class began yesterday, I abruptly remembered: I needed to collect adversity journals. I felt very somber when I got home and saw that only 1/3 of the class submitted two complete adversity journals. I feel irate at seeing students not do work that is important for their grades and feel like yelling. However, I try to benignly remind them how important their grades are instead… and try to explain to them how important a high school education is. I feel as if I’m perpetually saying the same thing over and over again every year– a high school diploma is more important than many realize. I am often maneuvering my approach when telling my students this. I now have ceased to be angry about students not doing work; now, I’m just gloomy instead. When I’ve rebuked students, they just feel guilty, when what I want is for them to do their work! I don’t think that my begging them will show only futility though– I still have hope that I’ll get through to some and help them to lead easier lives. I just don’t want the students that I love to be destitute without an education, because chances of making a lot of money without a diploma are slim.
