I was so excited to catch my third 12 word story displayed on the 12Words homepage! All stories appear there briefly, I think, but I never saw my first two go up. Thought this one would be especially good to share, as I think it’s something with which many teacher-types will identify with – if not the smoking or coffee, at least the sentiment!
Let me know if you are using this with your students, or if you are writing for this project too. I made a handout for students in my class (click to download), using information lifted straight from the 12Words website – why don’t you make a few copies and hand them out in class? Or in a Faculty meeting 🙂
