Teach.

I began a project with the students today, and gave a little lecture on Muhammed Yunus and social businesses (thanks, Cady Staff!). When they introduced the Combined Studies subject to me, they told me that it's all about culture and history and society and I was so excited because that's what I teach and what I love!

Then they told me that that's what they covered last term...and this term, I was to begin with business. I was like. Mm. OK. I can do that.

But it's not very thrilling.

I remembered that Cady Staff had done her Action Research Project on a "social business project" and so I decided to start there and see if there was anything I could glean from it to start a project with the LEAP students, and it turns out to be this awesome and amazing concept of social businesses, which is not only about business, but ALSO about society (which I love!) and so now I am happy, and also am totally hooked up with resources.

So today we started the Social Business Project. I am abbreviating it, so that I can finish it while I am here, but they could continue with it for longer if they wanted to. When I look at the calendar of what we're doing in class, my time here seems to vanish in an instant.
