But I used my time wisely. Especially my down time, which was when I had three periods of study hall and couldn't leave the room. I wrote up my lesson plans until our February break. And I used my planning period well by photocopying everything I need, too. I was even able to create the lessons and handouts for the Maine Content Literacy Program consortium that I am taking part in--which was no small feat. I think the anticipation guides are going to be a big success with my students, though. And I think I'm effectively incorporating the primary sources into the content so that it won't seem as though this strategy is coming out of left field; it's fairly similar to other activities we've done.
I know it's wrong for me to hope, but I hope we have a storm day tomorrow.

C'mon, Ms Kwiz. We all know that teachers pray for snow days, too.
You brought up something interesting: my niece, who is a straight A student, is happy/thrilled that most of her college courses are in "the lab" and don't involve papers or written exams anymore. Because she maintains she doesn't really know "how" to study and every exam was an occasion for stress, even though she invariably did well.
I don't recall if anyone taught me how to study because, well, I never studied.
