We’ll keep fighting over politics, and arguing about policies, and – if things go particularly well – debating the relative merits of fake news over the merely slanted. Whatever else this coming year will bring, it is unlikely to be predictable. Or boring. Or even remotely in keeping with the ideals envisioned by the Framers.
BUT (and I have a big BUT), in the meantime, we have kids to teach, jobs to do, and blogging to promote. With that in mind, I bring you…
The Blue Cereal #11FF Lunchbox Giveaway Extravaganza!!!
Between now and January 1st, 2017, I’ll be giving away two of these coveted rarities each week to qualifying #11FF.
What’s #11FF? It’s a hashtag referencing my ‘Eleven Faithful Followers’ – a term coined in the early days of this blog when I hoped to someday reach up to a dozen or so readers. It’s now used to more generally refer to anyone joining the cause, in part or in whole.
What do you have to do?
Share a link to something you find interesting or useful on Blue Cereal Education. Blog posts, new or old. Classroom strategies. Document Activities. Reading Lists. The initial chapters to that book I’ll never write, Well, OK Then… Anything you think might demonstrate your wisdom and insight for having shared it. Tweet the link with an appropriate comment from you, or post it to your Facebook wall with similar framing. Tag me or contact me to let me know, and you go into the potential winners’ cyberpot.
Preference will be given to those who personalize the tweet or FB post rather than simply retweeting or sharing – although retweets and shares are appreciated as well. Self-promotion requires sacrifice, kids – on your part, I mean. I don’t personally like to be troubled with such things.
Each weekend I’ll randomly select two winners. You’ll be announced, contacted, and your #11FF Special Edition Lunch Receptacle will soon be on the way! Once you’ve received it and taken the appropriate pics (at least some of which should be clothes ON), you’ll be added to the #11FF page and have official #11FF Elitist status to flaunt in front of your friends or to justify that condescending tone you take with people who just don’t get it.
It will be GREAT!
There will be no giveaways in January. Very likely none in February. You want lunch bling, the time is NOW.
What are you waiting for?
