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.

Literary Sites in New York City
So for the next leg in my literary road trip, I will be working a little closer to home: New York City! Since I do teach in Chinatown and my students live all around the five boroughs, I asked their assistance in seeking out places of literary importance in the city. Here I will post their descriptions of the sites they visited and the pictures they took while there. They will receive extra credit for their footwork and submissions. Enjoy!
