L. Frank Baum, a children's writer who produced fantasy literature, wrote the widely loved story The Wizard of Oz in Chicago! Oz Park in Lincoln Park was named to commemorate this author and figures of the Oz characters stand to brighten the faces of all visitors and stand over the park. Here you'll see Dorothy and me next to Toto in Oz Park.
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.
