I've Had Better Ideas

I had a great idea the other day as my juniors finished Act I of The Crucible.

“Why don’t we act it out?” I said.

So I split them into seven groups, gave them instructions and a time table, and let them get to it.  Each group basically had to condense their part down.

Today, as I drove to work (performances were today), I suddenly remembered: I gave the same act (all of act one) to each and every group.

Not the smartest move I’ve ever made…today was quite tedious for teacher and student alike.

Heeere’s your sign.
