As a high school history teacher, I have unrealized dreams of having lit circles in my classsrooms. I haven't yet been able to justify the time it would take to do them. However, I do have one class that always finishes work earlier than other classes so I'm taking the last 4-5 minutes of every period to read them Ruta Sepety's I MUST BETRAY YOU. I just read to them - no assignment, no expectations, just the joy of reading. It's been lovely :)
That sounds lovely! My favorite HS memory was my sophomore English teacher reading Don Quixote to us every day in class. It was a fantastic experience!
