My students are "researching" for their biography projects this week (I put that in quotations because google and wikipedia searches are not real research; I haven't completely converted them to Michigan Electronic Library as of yet.)And in honor of a few researching John Lennon, I thought I'd bring in Abby Road and we'd have a listen to lighten the mood. First hour, as they are quite a calm and groovy bunch, asked me to turn it up when "Here Comes the Sun" came on. Yes!! All about it!! 3rd Hour, however, a few individuals freaked out like I was making them listen to Yoko Ono albums, which put me in a bit of a foul mood.
In conclusion, about half of 8th graders are philistines.
