"He just went out on a limb for you, and this system knows how to handle a chainsaw."

A quick drill the other day was having students go through the chapters of A Lesson Before Dying (all unnamed), and finding a key line that encapsulates the entire chapter and gives it a title. Much like my favorite television show. Then, students justify their choices. It was fun, and the kids were into it, and The Wire totally inspired it.

I'm on Season four, episode five. I would have named this episode the title of this entry.

A girl in my second period is an extra and I see her in every classroom scene! Not to mention Sherrod, who I see hamming it up in the hallways every day!
