It's called taking a break from tedious reading. :) Ugh...I'm beginning to think twice about the textbook we all have to use for class. Some of these articles are just boring as hell. I'm going to need to supplement them with outside stuff, I think, or these kids will all be falling asleep at their desks.
Mostly articles from other anthologies aimed at freshman students--I've a lot of those. But I also have one article, from a magazine called Morbid Curiosities, that I am soooooooo going to use as well. It's about a kid who was born without arms in the 1950s, and his adventures in learning how to work with hooks for hands. And a terribly embarassing incident that happened in third grade. It is all kinds of creepy, cute, funny, sad, and ultimately just awesome. I used it on my students at Cal U last year and they freakin' LOVED that article!
