When I told my friends that my students were going to build a To Kill a Mockingbird theme park with functioning roller coasters while studying literature from the Civil Rights movement inside a project integrating Literature, World Cultures, World Geography and Physics, most of them laughed. I recently pitched the idea to a couple of students for a project that studies world literature--final product being a food truck thematically designed accordingly that is brought to a homeless shelter. There are things I think of that I like to think are imaginative and creative. I like to foster the child inside me--I really think it makes me a better teacher.
