Or, the Seldom Collection. The online version of me. Wednesday, December 5, 2012. I recently started teaching George Orwell's 1984. To my senior English class, Struggles of Humanity.

Or, the Seldom Collection. The online version of me. Saturday, March 30, 2013. Frameworks for Learning and Teaching. This is a request for material and ideas. What I have come to find in my 10th year of teaching is that, although I am continually reflecting and revising my practice, I feel I have lost sight of the connecting threads.
