Journaling

Ron asked us, as homework, to not only journal the week before this "date" but also create a songlist that each character would listen to on his or her "mixed tape" (this is what we did before Ipods, kids!). I found Vernon to enjoy his music from the 60's and 70's but also picking up some Disco. I think he thinks he's current, but doesn't realize he's about 5-7 years behind the times.

As for the journal, I didn't see Vernon being the type to write daily thoughts and ideas. But I did see him planning his week--Observing classes, going to Board of Ed. mtgs, attending basketball games, watching the lunchroom, teaching Health class. I did give him Monday nights off. That's when M*A*S*H comes on. Can't miss an episode of Hawkeye and Radar!
