WHAT?!



I wish I could find this! It is dated 2011, but I can find no record on Rotten Tomatoes nor on IMDB. :(

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times."

A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens...my very favorite book of all time. I keep trying to convince my students that it will be their new favorite book, but we're not quite there yet. I actually came to Dickens through Great Expectations and Mrs. Hinderland, my 9th and 12th grade English teacher. Both Mrs. H and Great Ex are why I became a teacher of "God's curriculum." ;) I thought Great Expectations was magical; I couldn't get enough of it, and when I came upon Cities, I felt the same way.

Every year, I have to approach it with more passion, more enthusiasm, more "yelling." I think Godlewski worries about what's going on next door some days! I hope that a little of my love for the language, the story, and, yes, the melodrama rubs off on a few of them. Just one or two...
