I was offered a new class this morning. My department head called to inform me that the creative writing teacher was suddenly leaving in the middle of the school year, and they needed a last-minute replacement. I eagerly took it. I love creative writing. This is a class I can teach. My biggest concern is deciding among the endless number of lesson plan options I have available to me. I have so many options and only two and a half months. But then, of course, I need to know what they've already done so I'm not repeating.
Oh, and of course, there's the resentment the kids may or may not feel toward me for walking into their classroom at the end of March expecting them to now do things my way. Not that I'll be that egotistic about it, but I'm obviously not going to be exactly like their other teacher.
