1. My classes continue to work on expository reading, this time focusing on how to determine which information is relevant to a task. Today I gave them a list of situations (going to a movie, cooking dinner for your family, etc...) and asked them to list five things they would need to know before beginning the task. One group received the prompt

Dude, you must watch this scene from the Scrubs musical episode. The love of J.D. and Turk is so true!

OMIGOD THAT IS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!

Dude, Kara is *ripped*! Also, her trousers are falling off in the last pic. Is RDM trying to increase the lesbian population or something? 'Cause I think I'm getting a crush.

No kidding! My massive girlcrush is alive and well. ;)

That essay is so fabulous -- it definitely needs some editing, but I love that he wrote it. And yup, he's such a 'shipper. ;)

Jamie Bamber wrote a character analysis of Lee!

Hmm, there was background info in there I didn't know about. Is this stuff he's just made up to flesh out the character in his own mind, or do we assume that it's going to come up in future episodes?

Without getting spoilery, I suspect it's a combination of the two.
