The winners have been selected!
A huge thank you to everyone who participated in this contest. We had a very large turnout, far bigger than we expected, and we wish we could have given a prize to everyone. To all those you participated, thank you for the time and enthusiasm that you put into this contest. Wooly Week and the Wooly Raffle were a ridiculous amount of work, and you all made every second of it worth it. Thank you so much for everything.
If you did not win, please play next year! Although the prizes will be different, I assure that I still have a few tricks up my sleeve.
Winners will receive an email early next week. Thank you again for taking part in this project. I hope you had as much fun as I did.
PRIZES
Grand Prize
Original Song!
WINNER: Jennifer Bilby
If you win this grand prize, Sr. Wooly will interview you, then take those details and write an original, fictional song/story about you.
How awesome is that?! You'll be the only Spanish teacher in the world that Sr. Wooly has made a song about. Granted, it's bound to be ridiculous and weird, but it'll be ABOUT YOU. From this point on, anytime your students show you any kind of disrespect, all you'll have to do is play the song, and they'll quickly fall in line.
Again, this is not "mad libs" songwriting. Everything about this song will be 100% unique, and custom-written for you.
Essential fine print: No videos or supplementary materials are included. Sr. Wooly will retain ownership of the song, and reserves the right to share the song with the public. Also, although we will do our best to make a great song, there are no guarantees that you'll like it.
1st Place Prize
Skype!
WINNER: Kristi Rohrer
If you win, Sr. Wooly will spend an entire day video chatting with your classes. We'll find a date in the Spring that works for everyone. All day, Sr. Wooly will field questions from your students (in English, Spanish, or both).
He promises to not to wear pajamas.
2nd Place Prize
Classroom Management!
WINNER: Amber Ray
Let's face it. By spring, your students know most of your tricks. They've gotten a little too comfortable and, frankly, so have you.
Wouldn't it be nice if you had someone who could take over classroom management for you?
If you win this prize, Sr. Wooly will record 5 pieces of disciplinary audio in which he forcefully instructs your students to fall in line (in Spanish, of course). You can either (A) tell him what to record, or (B) he can come up with it for you.
All you'll have to do is click play, and you'll have that dream classroom once again.
3rd Place Prizes
Props! Props! Props!
Alternate Title: My Wife Told Me To Clean Out the Garage
The Backpack from Ya Está Muerto
WINNER: Kamala Marsh
Yes, this is the actual backpack that was featured in Ya Está Muerto. You will have the bragging rights of owning the iconic prop from one of my most famous music videos. NOTE: Backpack Does Not Come With Tubes Or Dr. Krashen.
Dr. Krashen's Heart
WINNER: Blair Brown
This was the actual heart that was removed from Dr. Krashen in Ya Está Muerto. Whether you use it as a prop in your class, keep it in a glass jar filled with formaldehyde, or just occasionally throw it at your students, it's sure to be a notable addition to your class.
The Organ Transplant Cooler from Ya Está Muerto
WINNER: Amanda Sheldon
This cooler is the actual prop used in the video. And it could also become the perfect place for students to put their homework. Or their hearts.
NADA Sign
WINNER: Matt McGrath
Seen a few times in Los Quehaceres, this is a custom made sign that will be very striking on any Spanish teacher's classroom wall. It's quite large, made out of sturdy foam board. It'll also be catnip for snarky teachers looking for a fun way to respond to student questions.
