On TGT tomorrow it's the anniversary the birth of F. Scott Fitzgerald, author of The Great Gatsby. His story always makes me think of The Tennyson quote "tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all"

I always stick to a 9 for solid 6 for liquid (must be touching) and 3 for gas. I find asking them to draw less produces less errors

In my Organise Ideas presentation at #rED24 β€” with slides β€” I'll show you how you don't have to just show quotes in silence. There are always other approaches. Here's one where you have to predict the remainder of the quote.
