This week was one of those teaching anomalies where a lesson plan in one class didn't work, then I tried it again in my other class and it did work. I don't think it had anything to do with the plan itself, but more the audience - something to always keep in mind. My monday night class is predominantly gen-ed students, but my Tues/Thurs class has a few students who are in the Film Production program. Same material, night and day response. In some cases I'd consider tweaking it, but talking about how acting and filmmaking are somewhat central to my learning goals... in this case, they just had to deal.
