I started the 1001 Nights Festival in my classes today. When they found out I was going to read to them, I got mixed reactions. Some of the classes as a whole seemed excited while others seemed bored and like they thought they were too old to be read to. Once I began reading, the story of Shahrazad and her tales, the students perked up and began listening.
I still have one class that has decided that they don't like me. I'm not sure why. We were fine until I wrote one of the students up for cussing out another student, then most of the class turned on me. Today, my class literally divided and moved to two different sides of the room...one side listened to what I had to say, and the other refused to listen. It's kind of disconcerting and it hurts knowing that some of my students don't care about what I have to say. Still, I'm going to keep a positive attitude and say it will get better.
