When It Rains It Pours

We got a call Tuesday afternoon from our Chinese co-teacher. The Foreign Language Department is starting 2 new English Writing classes for seniors next week...in the middle of the semester... and has asked us if we would teach them until the end of this semester. There will be 30 students in each class, which means 60 more Journals and 60 more Quick Writes to read and correct each week. They want us to use the lesson plans we've already created.  We've never met anyone in charge and they've never met us, but for some reason there's a hole that needs filling and "they" think we're the ones to fill it.
