After yesterday's quiz, a student was simply sitting at his desk and staring out the window. I asked him if he had a book to read. Many of the students are studying The Odyssey in honors English, so I thought he might better use the time.
Mr. Davis: "Do you have a book to read?"
Student: "I forgot my book at home."
Mr. Davis: "Hmm... Got your cell phone?"
Student: "Um, yeah..."
Mr. Davis: "Good. Download one. You're reading The Odyssey in English right?"
Student: "Yeah..."
Mr. Davis: "It's free online. Google it."
A few minutes later he was reading his assigned reading for his English class.
Boy howdy, I love the age we live in. There's a plethora of knowledge and art that can be quickly found using a device we carry in our pockets!
