Who is this gal?
- Amy Chaney
- What I write is truly not considered important on a grand scale or life-changing by any means, but my thoughts, stories, and random ramblings may bring a smile to your face. "It's a Ladybug Kind of Day!" is simply what it is--my perspectives and experiences throughout the day. My hope is that someday my son and my students will enjoy reading what I am learning about humanity and life as I make my way through each day striving to be a better me.

Ode on a Grecian Urn
At the conclusion of our study of Keats and his "Ode on a Grecian Urn," I asked my students to do what legendary Mr. John Keating of Dead Poets Society asked of his students: “We
must constantly look at things in different
ways…Strive to find your own voice…Break out before
you lose it.” I instructed my students to look at the poem's themes in different perspectives, to see what is "heard" and especially what is "unheard," and to know that "beauty is truth, truth beauty." This assignment came in the form of an activity that I call "The Poet's Eye." I will be sharing my product with my students tomorrow, and I cannot wait to see what they will produce in turn!

Moby Dick, for a Whale of an Adventure!
Truly, can a literature teacher be more excited? First Macbeth, then In the Heart of the Sea, and, eventually, Frankenstein? Get me a fan! I'm feeling faint...
