I have been home a month now and I am haunted by Anne Frank. I have just read the "definitive" edition of her diary, which includes extra material that her father did not want published until after his death. This book is overwhelming. The courage, wit, intelligence, and wisdom of this young girl living through extraordinary circumstances is inspiring in a way I find hard to express. There are many lessons from this book that will connect to the learning that will take place in my class in the coming year, but the real challenge for me will be connecting this life to the lives of the students I teach. It is my hope that I will be able to convey to my students Anne's joy of learning and life, her courage in expressing her opinion, plus her remarkably positive outlook. If you have not read The Diary of Anne Frank lately I ask you to consider rereading it. As Anne herself said, "There is so much to learn."
