About Me

My photo
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.

Walden by Haiku

"Living on Earth" had an amazing story about Penn State-Altoona English and environmental studies professor, Ian Marshall's new book that reinterprets Walden in haiku form.  It was a great conversation and sounds like a super imaginative book.  The poems were really powerful.

This could lead a lesson/project where students reinterpret their favorite books or readings from the year.
