I don't know about anyone else, but I have too many ideas floating around in my head about how to integrate what we have learned into my classroom. I am truly going off the deep end. I have the lessons I have developed for the book, In the year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson, everything from the Chinese zodiac to calligraphy, and I also wanted to do something with Farewell to Manzanar, and the recent excavation of the garden at Manzanar and relating that to the importance of sacred space (gardens) to the Asian psyche, (we take some of our 8th graders on the Pilgrimage) or animation because I love My Friend, Totoro and Spirited Away among others. I also want to explore the relationship between the Hunger Games and Blood Royale. I am stuck in the middle school whirlpool, I want to do it all! Help!!!
