On The Road With the English Teacher

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.

Hawthorne, Hawthorne Everywhere, Salem, MA


Basically, Boston and its environs are Hawthorne's
domain.  There are mentions of him everywhere, from street names to statues, to plaques, museums and memorials.  Here is me standing next to one such tribute to Boston's main literary man.
