Happy St. Patrick's Day! "Experience is the name everyone gives to their own mistakes."-- Oscar Wilde.
We listened to "When Irish Eyes are Smiling." Then, wrote in notebooks and responded to that song or to one of the following Irish proverbs:

• Every dog is brave on their own doorstep.
• A good beginning is half the work.
• Two shorten the road
• Better good manners than good looks.
• If you don't know the way, walk slowly.
• Proverbs cannot be contradicted.
• God is good, but never dance in a small boat.

We discussed a New York Times music review of an article on the Irish Tenors.
With partners, we did a Web search on Irish literature. Turned in at end of period for points. Erin Go Bragh!
