I made my letter this morning. I had a terribly difficult time choosing. I figured I could relate any letter to the nebulous "something" I wished to be connected to in a positive manner. I really liked the "Q"...but I was struck by an older idea- inexplicably random, yet always in the forefront of my mind.
I thought about how being a teacher is an opportunity to see other's points of view. I included in this thought process not only the authors who write the books and plays that we read, but the important people on the receiving end- students.
Being a teacher grants me the opportunity to learn every single day. I have the chance to take ideas , toss them out into the ocean of the classroom and see who bites and then I get to encounter what I "reel in".
What I receive from students is often incandescent and beautiful. I get to "SEE" the way in which students interpret, process, and often put a fresh spin on the "things" we learn about in the classroom environment.
So...for my letter, I choose the "V". It stands for "vision"; the vision I am blessed with through communication and interaction with all of my students.

"The Scarlet Letter" Due: Monday 12/13
The Scarlet Letter takes place during the Puritan Age. This setting is far removed from our time. Consider the following questions. Compose a description of what you think living during the Puritan Age would have been like. Remember, many of the things that you take for granted were not available or even conceived during the era. Also, and maybe most importantly, consider how living in the Puritan Age would affect your inner self. Use the following questions as guides to a fully formed and descriptive response.
Please prepare your work on a word document and then copy it to the blog. Your response must be free of grammatical errors and 250 words (include word count).
1. What would it be like to live during the Puritan age?
2. How would you entertain yourself?
3. What hardship would you face?
4. What would you not have to rely on?
5. What would your attitude be like?
6. Would you be the same person you are today? Why or why not?
