Kind of a Vanilla Thursday

Back from a break, let's try this rhyming thing again,
I had writer's block yesterday: nothing in the pen.

To the students in D block, read story 'Brother Dear'
I won't be in class, but will listen through the sub's ear.
Have a good discussion, you'll be led by a capable team,
Stay quiet to get to speech writing & I won't allow that scheme.

To my 11s in C block, you'll finish watching Obama's speeches
The way he delivers his message is how a good pastor preaches.
Discuss which techniques he uses to make his words effective,
Don't copy his style outright, but it does make a good directive.
You too will have time when finished, to get to your identity talk,
After the video's finished you'll have like, 30 minutes on the clock.

Hey! I pushed through the struggle of not being able to rhyme,
Guess the lesson here is when you have to write- give it time!
