We Gotta Get out of This Place

“Come out with your hands in the air” the cop yells again. “I’m not doing this, I’m not doing this, I’m not gonna do it.” Blake whispers to himself as he picks up the small black, hand sized item from the dead body on the floor and put it in the back of his pants and covers it with the baggy part of his shirt. “One more chance boy! Or we’re coming in!” The officer yells louder this time. Blake walks to the door with no rush, he opens it slowly, when it is extended to its full length, he takes…

providing documents that reflect only one point of view and asking students to take the other side. I will try that in my class. Thanks! This back and forth between Stan, Harry, and Philip captures the depth of a conversation that might happen in a department professional development session between colleagues that have worked together for years; however, this was an asynchronous conversation between two Ohio teachers and a California teacher whom have never met.

In the song Hotline Bling, Drake sings about a love lost. We hear these songs all the time and it is…

When I finally got out of that bar, I walked around for a while. I still couldn’t get those singers out of my head. Boy, what a bunch of freaks. When that brunette got up on the piano, for chrissake, that killed me. I was out of there before her second foot hit the top. I walked up and down Central Park West for a couple hours. It was always so dreary in New York. It’s like you couldn’t get a break from the goddamn clouds. I was getting really cold and I had my hands in my pockets. I thought…

Brandon hopped on his bike and rode down to the bridge. This is the place he would always come to when he needed to think. The sound of the river beneath it calmed his nerves.

In All American Boys the cop didn’t look at his surroundings and see Rashad’s ROTC uniform in his open bag, nor did he see the wallet that Rashad was pulling out at the time. “‘I have money right here!’ With my free hand, I reached into my pocket to grab the dollar I had designated to pay for those stupid chips. But before I could even get my fingers on the money…
