Attack of the Swine Flu

Swine flu is visibly among us here at SGJA Girls' Middle School (more about swine flu at SGJA). It's what you see (face masks!) and what you don't see (students absent). The phenomenon of face masks is what I find curious. These aren't just simple paper and string. Most are cloth, and other with design. With some convincing, I got some students to model.




I've started a lot of classes by asking "Who's sick?", then going over the vocabulary for headache, fever, sore throat, runny/stuffy nose, stomach ache, etc. The only consistent smiling faces are the stickers I give to students. You can see the timeline of smiley faces, happy smiley people to smiley nurse and doctor...
