I am so lucky to have an amazing job at the best high school in the world with the most wonderful students (MOST of the time). Here I will share my musings, reflect on literature, and showcase cool assignments.
We were honored to have Sonja DuBois, Holocaust survivor, hidden child, spend the day with us on Thursday, April 3. Her story was compelling and moving and we so enjoyed getting to know her. She is pictured here with her husband, Ron.
Survivor of Sobibor
Pictured here are some of my students with Mr. Phillip Bialowitz, one of the ten living survivors of the Nazi extermination camp Sobibor. His son, Joe Bialowitz, is in the picture as well. It was an honor to hear Mr. Bialowitz speak.
We are going to be moving toward the end of the short story unit this week (I know you are all excited!).
Monday, 8/25 "On the Rainy River", analaogies work individually

Wednesday, 8/27 Analogies work in groups, "Lamb to the Slaughter"

I just wanted to let you know that I just went to get my books for my freshman seminar at Belmont... and they're all about the Holocaust! My entire first-year seminar is based on it, and I'm so excited!! That couldn't have worked out better :) Have a good day!!
p.s. You'd think that after four days of being here I would have seen Brock by now... no such luck :( I think he's hiding...
Allison, for Pete's sake... EMAIL ME SO I CAN RESPOND!!!! I am so excited that you guys are reading books like that! Tell me what they are because I might want to read them too! And if you DO see Brock, tell him to email too! adavis@clevelandschools.org
