"Lesson 13
Again, I will turn to my Holocaust Lit class. We read the two-volume novel Maus, by Art Spiegelman. We discuss metalepsis, and it can be somewhat of a challenge to explain, but with the help of Dr. Michael Schuldiner’s paper, and a…"
"Needing something different to fill that final week after the seniors graduated, I shared the Thomas Jefferson document from the PowerPoint with my students…

Waiting for "approval" to post my bio. Also wanted to let you know that email will probably be the venue for my journal, unless there is an easier/more preferred way for you and Robyn to access it. Will an attachment once a week be the…"
