Pointless observations

Did you know that the setting of "Story of an Hour" is important because it is in the springtime, and seasons often change?

Oh yes.

They also drew names in "The Lottery."

I'm not entirely sure how that would have worked.

Also, apparently, when you give students the outline for their paper and all the ideas and information they need to write it, as well as having a freewrite or inclass writing activity for every single paragraph in their paper, they take all that to mean there's no need to pay attention. Even fill in the blank theses statements written on the board were far too complicated to even begin to comphrehend.

I'm not an educator. I'm an expensive babysitter.
