Helen Keller in the Classroom

I don't have the game "Headbandz" in Korea, but today I made my own, and taped famous names to my students' hair. Below are Lance Armstrong, Tom Cruise and Helen Keller:

Tom Cruise: "Am I a woman?"
"No, not really."

It's difficult to engage the middle school kids. There's insatiable eye rolling. These guys are pretty sweet, but I have a naughty class. They've come up with a saying: "No concept." Can somebody give me the answer to question B? "Sorry, no concept teacher."

Advertising out my classroom window. In this heat, it has to be the worst job ever:

That's great! I played the Headbandz game with my students (still use it in classes now). I do it exactly the way you do....by taping the slip of paper to their heads! LOL!

Did your students enjoy it?

BTW, what are you cooking??? :)
