Bells, Bells, Bells

That's the name of the E.A. Poe poem on the test I gave today-- for some reason, I wrote an incredibly high-order group of questions including identifying the speaker of eight quotations, comparing and contrasting characters and phrases, and answering "think" questions. Many of my students at first complained that the test was "too hard" and they gave up, but several of them realized that I had pushed them-- "you was trying to make us think" and rose to the occasion. If only I knew what I were doing with them tomorrow!!!
