David Lodge's, Thinks turned out to be a useful read. I used the Mary the Color Scientist scenario to talk about point of view. I was a bit apprehensive about whether or not they would be interested in the passage, much to my delight they were. They say every teacher get nervous the first day, or do they? Actually, I kept thinking if my little fury friend would make a guest appearance during class, he didn't. Why does it have to be a "he"? There was one response in which a student said yes, and talked about anti-depressants, I thought it was a really insightful comment.
