I have had many profoundly moving experiences in a classroom............read my blogpost entitled, My Hana's Suitcase Story, for an example of this........but, I have had many other, ordinary days, too, where the highlight/lolight is some kid coming up and asking the Can-I? question. Tomorrow, maybe I will teach someone a skill that will open up opportunities for a better life. Maybe I will do or say smething that will inspire someone to be a better person? Maybe th most I will accomplish tomorrow will be to burn nto some student's brain the difference between a question about ability and a question about permission? We will just have to see what tomorrow brings. :)Thomas Charles MacInneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11331362298948608531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7519288249692657296.post-37672846950178949772013-02-03T21:28:17.809-05:002013-02-03T21:28:17.809-05:00The original Alien is one of my top two favourite ...The original Alien is one of my top two favourite movies of all time ( along with Apocalypse Now).

"I don't know, can you?" Great dialogue! I'm not sure about a great dialogue movie. One of my favorite action movies, has dialogue that still has me tear up. Rambo at the end of his movie when he says, "I want what every soldier wants, for their country to love them as much as they love their country." I actually love the dialogue exchanged in the movie When Harry Met Sally. I'm sure I could dig deeper. These two popped in my mind. Thank you for sharing this post!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
