Beth Cooper, The End

Just in case you were wondering, the students accepted the fact of the situation with great maturity. They got what I was saying, and surprisingly didn’t push back too hard. My boss got what I was saying, didn’t press too hard into why I didn’t use more foresight, which was nice, and not one parent said boo (which means at least they weren’t angry). We moved on to Miyazaki’s brilliant Spirited Away, and that swept them up good. It really is a brilliant movie.

I have yet to choose an alternate novel – I bought myself some time with this unit, and the kids are really keen to try and make their own movies, a la this class, so I think we’ll do that.

And that’s that. Coulda been better, coulda been way worse.
