#66Challenge
The workshop I'm doing with my Read 180 kids had a page on the word "surreal."
It was random, as so many things are. It didn't seem connected to anything else.
I wanted to teach them this word, but not with a fill-in-the-blank worksheet.
I tried videos on "surreal," but without fail every one of them showed a Dali painting with a naked woman.
I checked the exam they would take, and saw "surreal" was not on the test.
So I skipped it.
At times the way I have to teach, the decisions I have to make, seem surreal.
Other times, it is just a matter of choosing what I want to do most to survive as the teacher I am.
