D.J. ______________

As much as I hate to admit a weakness that needs fixing, I will swallow my pride and divulge one that I currently face.  I find "Bobbie's Blog Banter" a bit unsatisfying lately.  The atmosphere of the room does not yield as much excitement and energy as I would like.  In fact, I notice only staring, either straight ahead or at one's desk, when the music plays; I notice the paltry golf-claps for the guests.  Overall, I sense a lack of enthusiasm during the show which I would like to ameliorate.  As luck would have it, yesterday at the gym, The Ellen Show graced the television in front of my treadmill.  At that moment, an epiphany occurred:  "Ah-Ha!  I need a D.J.!"  Perhaps a more normal, down-to-earth, grounded person would scoff at this idea.  After all, what teacher truly needs a D.J. in order to present interesting ideas from student work?  Luckily, I possess none of the aforementioned qualities; in fact, I enjoy going overboard in order to entertain! Realizing that I need help on my show led me to the conclusion that it can only come from one source:  YOU!  Each week, I will choose my guest D.J.  Applications will follow these specifications:  1.)  It must come in the form of a blog comment on my blog post that week.   2.)  You must submit your entry by midnight on Thursday.  3.) You must submit three words, with the punctuation of your choice that will convince me to choose you.  I will NOT consider entries with more or less than three words.  Ultimately, I will choose one D.J. per class period.  This person will receive the secret theme of that week's blog show.  She/he will then choose an appropriate song for the show that she/he will play for the class.  In this way, I hope to heighten the energy level of my... I mean, our, show.

  1. Hi, Dani! Right now, I only accept applications of current students. However, if the turnout does not improve, your chances may improve.
