 * Reclaiming Time to Think by Margaret Wheatley:**

Elizabeth Gilbert, author of //Eat, Pray, Love,// "...muses on the impossible things we expect from artists and geniuses -- and shares the radical idea that, instead of the rare person "being" a genius, all of us "have" a genius. It's a funny, personal and surprisingly moving talk." I thought about Elizabeth's theory of the role of the muse as I listened to Evan's read-aloud on the Amusing Academy on Monday. []

DEBATE
This is a debate project I used. I created a blend of policy and L-D debate that fit into our time period. Students were asked to prepare an affirmative and a negative constructive. I have provided grade sheets that were created, but I really did not use them. I paired teams up in different rooms at the same time and had Franklin College students judge. Then the winners debated while others watched their debates until we were down to the final two teams, and we all watched. I never judged a round. I did not want students to say I played favorites. At the end I had the students vote. The next day we discussed their vote and reasoning. Finally, they had to defend the grade they thought they should get for the project in a writing with evidence.
