School Year By the Numbers

Here was a fun exercise. I started wondering how much work my students did last year. I had 25 students in 3 classes, and here is their school year by the numbers: 

Collectively, 

•  They read 46 authors 
• They read 8,283 pages of prose
• They read 159 poems
• They wrote 165 papers

 My C.S. Lewis class collected 640 quotes and journaled 110 pages in one semester. 

Of course this little collection of numbers doesn't actually communicate much about any individual student's year, since most of them took only one class! Furthermore, 200 pages of Dickens probably contains double the words of 200 pages of Lewis, so the number of pages is pretty irrelevant. Still, CTT students got through a lot last year, and I'm proud of what they accomplished!

(Oh, and this means that last school year I personally read 46 authors, 8,283 pages of prose, 159 poems...and graded 165 papers.  Whew. :)
