2. Y'all, I have got to rec the cartoon Mighty Mike. It is a sheer delight. It's about a dog Mike and his travails; he's in love with Iris, the dog next door, and has to protect his domain from two conniving raccoons, Freddie and Mercury. It has almost zero dialogue which is nice; so many cartoons are so frenetic and full of screaming characters. We howl with laughter every time it's on. I would watch this independently of having a six year old child.
3. I get to teach a specifically 19th-century class in the fall! And it only took 12 years! LOL I'm teaching 19th-century poetry and prose fully online. Super stoked. I'm trying to think how to divide the units; I could do it by genre: poetry, short story, novel, non-fiction prose. But I think it makes more sense to have thematic units and all genres in each units. I'm going to teach a Ouida novel, and it's probably going to be one of her 1860s sensation/high society novels. One of the units will definitely be gender. Probably have a class one. Maybe religion? Maybe Industrial Revolution? So many possibilities!!! What thematic units would you choose if you were teaching a 19th century course?
