Just Read: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
11/27/2010
NCTE’s Web-Based Curricula Help
As per Carol Jago’s suggestion at NCTE two weeks ago, I just finished reading The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks This is the kind of book that I tend to carry with me for a long time. It makes me think about my world in a different way. In short, the book is about Henrietta Lacks who dies from a virulent form of cancer. Scientists and doctors harvest her cancer cells so that they can learn more about the disease that took Henrietta’s life. The story is more: it is about how one’s death lives on through memory and important contribution.

NCTE Presentations on Saturday

It is completely rewarding for me to run into teachers and former students at NCTE. I am particularly excited to see some of my former students becoming teacher leaders. Andrew Jeter and David Witek are of particular note at NCTE 2010 this year!
So what about the presentations?
Tomorrow my sister, Mary Scruggs is presenting, “Order in the Courtroom: The Law Through Fairy Trials” (I.20) I am chairing the session and Mary’s colleague, Julie Romeo is also presenting. 1:15-2:30
David Witek and I are presenting “Old World New World: Using 21st Century Technologies to Teach Humanities” at 2:45-4:00 at the Yacht and Beach Club/Grand Harbour Ballroom, Salon 8.
