Wed., July 30Susan Cook was the first guest lecturer who listened to us and engaged us with questions. I loved her energy though her agenda with the particular songs she selected was a little opaque. We listened to the tragic ballad “Mattie Grove”, the upbeat and ladylike “Gonna be an Engineer” about a woman who succeeded in becoming an engineer despite the odds, and “After the Ball”, the popular song that had everyone swaying like we were characters in a Disney movie.
Lesson learned: don’t ask kids to follow the lyrics to a song without giving them the lyrics to the song.
