First Day
I had my first day of student teaching today at the middle school where I am assigned for the next twelve weeks. It was fun and exciting. I got to meet many of the staff that work in the school. I already knew the principal so I chatted with him for awhile before and after school. My teacher introduced me to all of the classes we have and I already know that many of my students will be quite a handful and expecially my fifth hour class. It seems that the boys I have already have crushes on me. I will deal with that as soon as possible because they need to respect me and that I am their elder and not their peer. I felt the excitement within my heart rise when I was in front of the classroom and I can't wait to start getting classes and preparing for my weeks. Poetry is going to be a blast to teach! Nothing else too amazing happened today, but we'll see how everything progresses throughout the week. Here's to an eventful twelve weeks!

Hi MissT good luck in this 12 exciting weeks. I'm from Guatemala and english is not my native languaje, but since I can remenber I wanted to read some contemporary american poetry. I only remember reading Edgar Allan Poe, specially "The Raven", but from there on I haven't been able to get to know more up to date material. I've been told that I should read William Faulkner, thing that I hope to do during 2007. Can you tell what can I read and that's considered an american classic?
Tiago, some good books and poetry I can recommend to you that are contemporary American would be e.e. cummings, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Sylvia Plath, Emily Dickinson, T.s. Eliot, and Robert Frost...just to name a few. I hope this helps. You should also read Annabell Lee by Poe; great poem.
