Today is the first day of my sixth year of teaching at the University of Detroit Jesuit High School and Academy. It was a long day, but I am glad to be back doing a job I enjoy at a place I love.
This year, I am teaching English I to freshmen, English II to sophomores, and a new English elective called Contemporary Literature to a small group of juniors and seniors. I will also be keeping busy with my three clubs: fall play, Inscape literary magazine, and forensics.
I think I have some good students this year, and I can't wait to get to know them better and work with them more. I'm especially excited to see how my class of nine juniors and seniors goes. It will be a fun little book club reading novels published in the 2000s. It's going to be paradise for a book-nerd like me. (Hopefully, my enthusiasm rubs off on the students.) Third period first semester is going to rock!
I can't decide if I will also use this blog for updates in English I and English II, or just with my Contemporary Literature students. Only time will tell, I guess. This sounds like a problem for future Mr. Davidson.
