Enjoyed your post, but I have a slight disagreement about Jackson being loaded with talent. Good quarterbacks at the college and and pro level have the ability to see the field and complete check-downs to open receivers. I read during Fall camp that Spav and his team were trying to get Jackson to stay in the pocket and complete those check-downs the way that Davis Webb did in 2016. To your point, I think we are going to see a lot more designed roll-outs with Jackson going forward.
BTW, what was your favorite book or short story you taught to your students? I have fond memories of English and drama classes in high school because I completely sucked in math and the sciences.
Much to my surprise, I was able to navigate my introductory drama students through Oedipus, which seemed on-point for many students (ba dum tsss). I only taught it for two years, then switched to a speech/debate class and team, which did pretty well, but was not supported by the school, since I did not want to do endless bake sales (i.e. fundraising) on top of the time and energy to build and manage a team. To answer your question, no favorite, but as I have heard said, a directors favorite production is always his current one. As a teacher, I tried to focus on essential acting skills, first, and foremost, then the content would present itself. Our first year, we did Bye Bye Birdie and the second year, we did Grease.
I was the proverbial high school jock, but got talked into participating in one school play, Archibald MacLeish's J.B. I was one of the comforters. Wish I had done more.
I confess I am not familiar with that particular play. Yes, I, too, was a jock in H.S., but gave it up for speech/debate, since I thought I wanted to be a lawyer.
