thank you fran! i love what you say here about how the tangible process of teaching can bring such clarity of intention both in the classroom and in our lives outside of it. i'm in my twelfth year teaching english, creative writing, film etc. and can attest that it's made me a sharper thinker and writer in ways i never could have expected.
great german word (obviously) for having the intuition for language and sentence cadence without necessarily knowing exact definitions or grammatical rules is Sprachgefühl
I loved this post. I’m a high school English teacher and I’m always interested in hearing how higher ed teachers create their own practices in a less regimented system.
Thank you so much!!! I am always curious about the flip side of things with high school teaching as well - probably a longterm goal for me once I am no longer in NYC, but adjuncting does what it needs to for now.

Here to say the new True Detective is very bad and dumb!! "I pray" sent me over the edge.
