In All Quiet on the Western Front, the book we're reading in 8th grade ELA, Paul returns home on leave for two weeks. As you can imagine, home feels different after fighting in the trenches of WWI. T made an impressive observation about the symbolism of Paul's army uniform.

We visited with amazing teachers—@johnson_Experience, Katie Scotti, and MsThankappan—using knowledge-rich curriculum to read and analyze grade-level, challenging texts that complement the ELA classroom with history, science, and art content. Wit & Wisdom English

Sharing this anecdote on the Knowledge Matters tour made me realize that it's been too long since I've told my teachers at The Bryn Mawr School thank you for nurturing my love of text analysis. This rainy Sunday seems like a perfect opportunity to pen my appreciation :)

There's nothing quite like these "aha!" moments that students earn after closely studying text and making connections to previous pieces of literature, art, and film in a focusing question arc. Listening to Davin unlock this complex poem makes my heart swell with pride.
