Each year at my school, our building media specialist (more commonly referred to as "the librarian") organizes an opportunity for teachers to have their picture taken reading a book. This is all in the interest of show illustrating for students that reading is life-long passion to be nurtured, not just an activity to slavishly be completed until getting out of school.
The image above is my contribution for this year. While most teachers have their photo taken alone, I choose to have mine taken with a collection of my students each year, usually with one of the books we'll be reading at some point. This year's poster is based on The Red Pony by John Steinbeck, an excerpt of which we will be reading later in the year.of course, the real irony here is that the story deals with the themes of male rites of passage and the only students who had the spirit to come with their props (plaid shirt, bandannas and hats) were the young ladies...
I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. What do you think?
Breathe in, breathe out... YOU AND I ARE ALIVE!
