Today I taught a lesson on The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. I had no idea how this would go over with 11th graders who weren’t even sure really who Ben Franklin was, and many of whom read on an elementary level.
THEY LIKED IT. THEY REALLY LIKED IT. Well, some of them liked it, and others were falling asleep because it was ten thousand degrees today and I have no A/C. But as one kid was handing in his work on the way out, he mumbled, “Cool lesson.” HA! They are so smart. I love them.
