Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceThough I have not taught for very long, I think one of my favorite experiences was teaching a lesson on "In Flanders Fields," a World War I poem. It combined elements of history and ELA, and the students really clicked with it. It made me very happy and inspired further study.
