My favorite source of classroom inspiration right now is the website of a Chicago teacher named Joe Scotese. I'm introducing his "illuminated texts" idea in my classroom today. I wanted to show you my favorite one because I find it to be both very timely and extremely moving, all the more so because it was created by students.
A Prayer For the Lost
You can read the complete text of "The War Prayer" here. I like that Mark Twain.

That was really moving! I'l have to check out more of that guy's stuff. It works. It got me to read the original text.
I like that Mark Twain, too. And the three pages of "The War Prayer" had the biggest impact on me of anything he wrote.
lovely
