My dreaming brain and annotated bibliographies--with a light show

Okay, weird but kind of fun dream:

I dreamt that my principal and I cooked up a plan to present the parts of a research paper to the entire middle school. They gathered in my classroom, and then the show began. And when I say show, I mean, slide show, light show, and clever back-and-forth patter between my principal and me. I woke up just after I finished describing an annotated bibliography as the flotsam of a paper: it includes all the bits and pieces of research, like the scummy detritus left by the waves on a polluted beach. You may not need it, but you know what you put into the process.

O wow. 

The funniest part is, given a few minutes notice, my principal (who is a former student and a larger-than-life personality) would go for this. Especially the crazy techno bits and the high energy delivery.

Out of all of that, I kind of like what my brain came up with to describe the annotated bibliography. I will not be teaching middle schoolers, but I think the high school kids might like the analogy.

Even if I don't think, in my waking moments, that I'm ready to go back to work for year 37, apparently my subconscious has it all under control. 

With a light show.

Have a good day,
