i already miss them
This is a very hard video to show as I make progress on the Vietnam War and the conservative revival circa Nixon in my US Since 1865 class. But I shall play it on Wednesday. What I love as we march toward the finish line is how students are adding songs to my pre-lecture playlist.… Continue reading i already miss them
prepping for slow art day continues
Prepping for Slow Art Day continues. I can’t think of a better poster beside which to put my students’ signage. Dr. John Mitcham is an alum and dear friend. The digital display is up at the Gorgas House Museum as an analogue to Slow Art Day April 2. Our burlap pop up installation 11-4:30pm tomorrow… Continue reading prepping for slow art day continues
adjustments made to my burlap
I am so excited. So far, fourteen Antebellum America students have confirmed that they will be making something creative for their burlap as a contribution to our attempt to build community. Some of their work will be on display April 1, the eve of Slow Arts Day, April 2. I made some adjustments on my… Continue reading adjustments made to my burlap
process never sleeps
Process never sleeps. “Hey, that’s a Saban reference,” said my husband, referring to an oft-heard message from the University of Alabama’s head football coach to our team and others. I added these words, which were cut years ago from the softest t-shirt, to my burlap tapestry. I asked my husband if he liked the tapestry’s… Continue reading process never sleeps

The full unveiling will be featured… Continue reading sweet confusion
no dried raisins
My cup runneth over. Energized by a talk titled “Are Our Raisins Still in the Sun?” The title was created by my line sister Veronica Jackson, orchestra teacher at Alexandria City High School. I met amazing students and our Sorors from the Zeta Chi Omega chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated. Answer: No, our… Continue reading no dried raisins

I just had to share this glimpse of the almost full moon. Took it last night Also, my my U.S. Since 1865 students are taking their first exam next week. As good a time as any to remind them (and myself) of the Three Ts of Good Writing. Posting it again. Of course, rules are… Continue reading full moon
why we do it
I am getting ready to post the grades for my “American Swagger” class. Sometimes I doubt myself as a teacher, but whenever I read what my students write, I have more confidence. When you’re in the thick of teaching, especially courses that involve deliberate decisions to paint outside the lines lesson plan-wise, doubt comes. The… Continue reading why we do it
beholding dreamers
There are just nine days left in my “American Swagger” course. I have been mostly impressed by the progress my students have made. Their analytical skills will now be put to an important test. They are reading one of their final texts. It is the only assigned book. Fifty percent of their grade rests on… Continue reading beholding dreamers
