"Whenever there is a global or national event of any
significance, news media rush to describe and account for
the causes. That is History. It is the memories of those
who are dead but who still speak to their heirs. It is the
wisdom of those who turn to look back in their journey forward."
Our department has:
Three commited teachers, with successfully

about the subject, with close involvement with literacy

A preference for dialogue over diatribe
within the classroom.
Field trips to appropriate destinations,

To
