Got the
November calendar edited and live on the site. There are a few changes to make in the next few days, but it's 99% complete. We have a forthcoming lesson plan on Elie Wiesel's
Night that will replace a 9-12 EDSITEment lesson on the
Kristallnacht entry. And there's the never-ending albatross, my Gettysburg lesson plan, which will probably replace the
Exploring Free Speech and Persuasion with Nothing But The Truth lesson on the
Gettysburg Address entry.
Today's high point is the unveiling of
my kit in the online store! That's right! You can now go purchase the resources I picked and the framing text that I wrote in a convenient package (with a beautiful purple cover :)
On the very sad side, we've gotten angry mail about yesterday's Inbox Ideas section. I know. It
was about LGBT issues. I expected it. Really I did. But that doesn't make it any easier. It would be one thing if someone said I was a bad writer. It's different to be told that I'm writing about bad things and that the reader is completely offended by my words. How do you respond to a message that tells you not to write about such things again or the person will cancel his/her membership? Sigh... :(
