"I think it was John Lennon who once said 'life is what happens when you're making other plans', and that's exactly the way I feel. Although he also said 'I am the walrus, I am the eggman', so I don't know what to believe." - Tim Canturberry (BBC's The Office)

"I saw Wedding Crashers accidentally. I bought a ticket for Grizzly Man and went into the wrong theater. After an hour, I figured I was in the wrong theater, but I kept waiting. That’s the thing about bear attacks. They come when you least expect it." - Dwight K. Schrute (NBC's The Office)

Chapter Three of "Is It Done Yet?"

One idea I liked that comes out of this chapter is the idea of showing students work that is good, and also accessible to them. Students who think, "Yeah, I could do that" are much more likely to try harder and have a better final product in the process. Students should understand that modeling isn't wrong, and modeling (not copying) another person's work or ideas or concepts shouldn't be discouraged.
