I love my English methods class.

So throughout the semester in my Secondary English Language Arts Curriculum Practices class, also known as English Methods, we did all sorts of writing exercises that we might wish to do with our students in the future. Our professor, Susan, whom I adore, got us each to choose one of our pieces to polish , peer edit, and submit for a class publication. Today we had our 'publication party' and we each received a copy. Much to our delight, Susan had written her own piece, "Introducing the Authors."

It was a poem comprised of 17 limericks. She starts off with,

There once was a group of sixteen.
About writing, they were quite keen.
It's easy to see
These teachers-to-be
Will bring talent and passion rare seen.

And continued with a limerick about each of my classmates. It was really sweet because she took the time to think about each of us and make them personal. About me she wrote:

Meg's talent with tech is well-known.
To producing on YouTube she's prone.
When she has a class
Each laddie and lass
Their cyber-predilections will hone.

Best professor ever?
