President Obama has offered a "teachable moment" for all students across the country, but especially for those in under-served high-need schools. My 10th graders in World Literature, like so many readers, get excited about reading when they can connect narrative to their lives and what's going on in the world right now. As you can imagine, my students in a historically African-American district were as proud of the inauguration of President Obama as much as the rest of the country. They internalized his message of doing the best you can, and I am channeling that enthusiasm to learning in our classroom.
