Apples have become symbolic of the teaching profession. You have probably all seen a stock photo of a teacher’s desk. The work surface of the desk is mostly empty with the exception of a pen and a perfectly sharpened pencil. A neat little stack of books is situated in the corner. Sitting on top of the books is a flawless, shiny green apple that gives off a celestial glow.
This is not reality.
In twenty-first century schools, students do not give shiny green apples to their teachers. A student once left an apple core on my desk after lunch once, but that was both accidental and unwanted. A teacher’s desk does not usually look like a good landing pad for a helicopter either. My desk is usually heaped with marking, textbooks, notes from students and parents, my untouched lunch, hundreds of pens and pencils, chalk, confiscated glue bottles, scissors, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Waldo, etc. I could go on, but I’m sure you get the picture.
Teaching is not for the faint of heart. It is a high energy, full contact, adrenaline summoning, hair raising (and pulling), exhilarating profession. If you enjoy getting a lot of sleep, steer clear of teaching. Many hours in the middle of the night are spent thinking, stressing, plotting, scheming, and planning. This book was born out of one of these nocturnal strategy sessions.
My class was struggling with Creative Writing. They were good writers on the whole, but their writing was lacking some zip and personality. They were used to writing what the teacher wanted them to write and I needed to de-program them. I wanted them to write about things that were interesting to them. I wanted to know what their passions were, what made them laugh or what made them angry. If the students wrote something that was interesting or important to them, then writing would become more enjoyable. That is when I began sharing my own stories with the class.
The Apple Slice eBook Greg Slingerland
The book, "The Apple Slice" by Greg Slingerland, was suggested to me after I complained about a very stressful day. A friend suggested that I read "The Apple Slice" because it would make me laugh and forget about my problems.My friend was right! "The Apple Slice" is a series of humorous short stories taken from Mr. Slingerland's life as a boy, and unforgettable experiences he has had as a 7th/8th grade teacher in Canada.
The author has a wonderful way of painting pictures with his words, that make you feel like you are right there in the cafeteria with his hungry students trying to put together pies for a school fund-raiser; or dealing with the antics of Howard, the family tomcat; or trying to save money in college, by using a moldy, smelly edition of a required text book; and loving every minute of reading his adventures!
Mr. Slingerland's humorous writing style would appeal to older children, teens, and adults. Everyone can relate to the things he writes about, because we have all had similar experiences to those mentioned in the book.
To me, it takes a talented writer to take his readers on a effortless journey of good, clean fun. I laughed out loud several times! My friend was right. "The Apple Slice" by Greg Slingerland was just the thing I needed to brighten up my day! I know it will be a book you smile about for days!
