Blogging from Woodrow Wilson High. I really love the architecture of the campus. Red brick with white interlocking bricks at the corner and semi-gothic embellishments at the doorways and roof. The campus is old and very classy. Newer campuses in Dallas are ugly and soulless. I think the reason for the dramatic diference in architecture is age of the school and location. Lakewood, the neighborhood Woodrow Wilson is in, is a historic Dallas neighborhood (I know because all the street signs say so) and Woodrow Wilson is an older campus.
I am teaching World History in room 314 for Mr. Kirkpatrick. The class is predominantly hispanic, like the rest of the school, with a couple of black and white kids tossed into the mix. I parked in the student parking by mistake, and only realized it when I saw students getting out fo their cars next to me.
Nothing very interesting to tell yet today, and it doesn't appear that I'll have much opportunity for interaction with the students as the lesson plan dictates that most of the class period will be consumed by a test. I am going to go chill in the lounge now.
