I am a high school English teacher in NYC and during the summer of 2008, I took an extensive cross country road trip to visit literary sites. Now, in the summer of 2013, I will explore Vietnam and study the effects of the Vietnam War from both an American and Vietnamese perspective. I will use this exploration to create an interdisciplinary unit on the Vietnam War, using Tim O'Brien's wonderful work "The Things They Carried." Thanks for visiting.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy Park, Boston, MA
I suppose I was feeling pretty patriotic after my enthused tour guide told me to "pass on the torch" to the next generation (thank God I'm a teacher), so it was the perfect time to meander along the Charles and find myself in the John Fitzgerald Kennedy Park near the Harvard School of Government. In addition to Kennedy's refreshing words about citizenship and responsibility, I also got to stick my foot in the cool fountain at the end of a hot day.
