Been Motivating More Students to Vote Today
This morning, I wrote on the whiteboard that today was the last day to register online to vote. Wrote it in big, blue letters and left it up for two hours. When my student who told me last week that she hadn't registered came in, I pointed out the sign to her... just to make damned sure she saw it. When I went in for my afternoon class, I asked an early student if he had voted. "No". Was he registered? "No". I told him all he needed to do was register online, quick and painless, but today was the very last day to do it without having to go in person and stand in a long line. Guess what, he registered right then and there on his iPhone. He even commented about how easy it was.
And that takes care of my patriotic duty for the day!

These kids need a civics lesson! 
Actually, we were covering literary analysis, which includes a lot of logical reasoning. So there's that.
