My writers group (The Writer’s Circle) is starting their own Script Frenzy today. In the month of July we’ve all signed a contract with ourselves to write a one hundred page screenplay. I’ve put aside my frantic lesson planning to embrace the fun. In fact, I was starting to stress myself out with the lesson planning, every spare moment was being dedicated to it and I’ve still only finished a full month for both classes. I think I’m just going to do what many teachers find themselves doing, create lesson plans a week or two in advance. Break up the workload a bit. It will make the year a little harder, but since I still have to study for the CSET, predo all major projects (so I know they actually work), read through the books I’m thinking of assigning, and now write a screenplay. I really think I need to let the lesson planning go. If anyone else has insight about prepping for lessons I’d love to hear it.

And now I really must stop procrastinating and get to that script!
