September 11th 9/11 The Man in the Red Bandana
September 11th was a tragic day in the history of our country. While it is a sensitive topic, it is one that can still be covered delicately. I choose to educate my students about 9/11 by focusing on the story of Welles Crowther, a former Boston College Lacrosse player and Junior Firefighter turned Equities Trader in NYC. Welles was dubbed "The Man in the Red Bandana" because he used his red bandana to cover his face as he helped many victims of 9/11. I have provided a lesson plan, documentary q

William Blake, a Romantic or Realist?
Every time I teach the Romantic time period, I search for a fun little quiz for my students to take to determine if they are a romantic or a realist (based on the literary definition). Unable to find one, I created a short little personality quiz that hooks the students and teaches them the literary definition of being a romantic. I have paired this with a close reading of William Blake's poems "The Chimney Sweeper" from Songs of Innocence and Experience.

Then, inform students that the article is 100% made up and everything they just read is untrue! This will not only reveal their own bias, but, as the
