Teaching Heart of Darkness: Necessary Supplies

by Eric on April 6, 2009

1. Heart of Darkness Mango Juice from Trader Joe’s? Check.

2. Dark Chocolate Cookies? Check.

3. Actual Heart of Darkness text? Check.

4. A Classroom of college students who feel like they’re in sixth grade again? Check.

Seriously, I love teaching. And yes, they actually do make Heart of Darkness juice at Trader Joe’s. Check out the label. Besides serving as a beverage for Heart of Darkness themed snack-time, it’s also my new favorite juice. Yum!

Sigh, only five more classes left in the semester. I really enjoyed teaching World Lit II over at Holy Family, as well as my wonderful students. This was my first time teaching a literature course, and they were patient with me as I learned to teach through teaching.

Looking forward to teaching World Lit I there in the Fall. Hopefully by then I’ll have my Beowulf tattoo. Woo!

Oh jeeze, I was just pondering buying that juice. I did not end up purchasing it sadly, but will ponder a bit harder next time based on your recommendation. Gosh I love Trader Joes.

Is the Beowulf tattoo for real??
