About Me
- Jim Morrison
- I am a middle school teacher with about a 10 years of experience in the classroom teaching Language Arts, History, and Humanities. I believe that by providing them with real connections between the curriculum and the world around us, students experience more ownership and authenticity in their learning. The answers to the perennial questions about why history, or any subject, is important can be found in the headlines, galleries, and voices that will be featured on this page.
