Katrina in New Orleans: July 2008
http://katrinainneworleans.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Katrina in New Orleans. My Life in Post-K New Orleans. Tuesday, July 22, 2008. Generally Speaking: or, Why I've Not Posted Lately. I've now entered the very last week of classes, which means my students are panicking- and that they are submitting revisions, galore, and wanting me to turn them around and grade them, like, pronto. Enroll in such a difficult class with so little time in which to learn so much. Anyways, I am posting largely because I just wanted to get a blip up on the screen that says: I'm ...

Katrina in New Orleans: My Obama
http://katrinainneworleans.blogspot.com/2009/01/my-obama.html
Katrina in New Orleans. My Life in Post-K New Orleans. Tuesday, January 20, 2009. This morning when Simon woke me up at seven, I had the same feeling I did on the morning it snowed. I felt like I had to get out of bed or else I'd miss something. For reasons I'll not explain I just stumbled on to your blog where you reference my NCTE article. I'm glad it resonated with you. Folks who don't teach have NO idea. And I work in a good district in a great school. I can't imagine a "tough" school. Then and Now,"...

Katrina in New Orleans: March 2008
http://katrinainneworleans.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Katrina in New Orleans. My Life in Post-K New Orleans. Sunday, March 09, 2008. And the madness marches on. Billie Faye Baker took freshman composition with me way back when I was a teaching assistant. To tell you the truth, I don't remember much of her presence in the classroom. I remember thinking she was bright. I remember worrying about her. She missed several classes. And she turned in a paper in which she divulged a very scary and dramatic personal story. When I heard about her death this week, it w...

Katrina in New Orleans. My Life in Post-K New Orleans. Tuesday, January 20, 2009. This morning when Simon woke me up at seven, I had the same feeling I did on the morning it snowed. I felt like I had to get out of bed or else I'd miss something. Monday, January 05, 2009. New Year, Old Blog. It's obvious: I've given up on this blog. I'm not a "real blogger.". I am, however, someone who finds that writing things down is an act of thinking- a helpful one at that- and in light of that, I thought I'd post thi...

Katrina in New Orleans: June 2008
http://katrinainneworleans.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Katrina in New Orleans. My Life in Post-K New Orleans. Tuesday, June 24, 2008. On the 11th of June, several of our dearest friends came to our house to brave a storm of cat hair and dust. We packed the U-Haul, and, in the midst of still-ongoing last-minute contractor repairs, moved in to our new home in Holy Cross. Anyways, if you are at all interested in hearing/talking about any or all of our layout and design choices, I am happy, happy, happy to discuss every last decision- and to hear advice for ways...

Katrina in New Orleans: October 2008
http://katrinainneworleans.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Katrina in New Orleans. My Life in Post-K New Orleans. Friday, October 10, 2008. Our New Garden and Other Fall Delights. First of all, I know I haven't written lately, and there's a good reason for it: work. Because I am a writing teacher, I spend a LOT of time responding to student writing. When school is in session, the notion of doing any other kind of writing seems both absurd and an incredible burden. Here's the house when the first group of plants went in. The cats love the garden. Well, they l...
