A student in #APLit this week found a book for his research that would be helpful. We used WorldCat and found it is at a nearby college campus. He stepped into the hall, called the librarian, and arranged to go visit and see the book.
The lesson: research can be an adventure 😁

Look I get the “Wow look at the hypocrisy” bit of GTA VI and sexual fetishes blah blah blah but I’m of a aplit mind on “It’s okay because it’s insincere and mocking” versus “Insert New Furry Art Site Here That Claims A Lot and Makes Only The Things Its Owner Does Not Like A Rule Violation”

My #APlit students read “Our Town” last week. Today as they discussed this poem, I heard their urgency. It was as if they were seeing the play anew. I love spending my days with young people learning to pause and notice life—every, every minute. www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/55270/...
