• Taught part of John Berger’s Ways of Seeing today. Such a powerful documentary.
• Well really I was teaching a piece that uses Berger to analyze Instagram, but understanding that piece relied upon knowing Berger’s piece so I taught both.
• Also chilled outside today cuz it was 65 degrees. Watched kids play. Read. Had shrimp and rice. Came home. Made macaroni and cheese. Watched Shrek. Cleaned up. Watched more Ways of Seeing. Went to sleep.
