| I reguarly listen to the radio series on NPR, and I teach English composition at a community college. Recently, I decided to have my students write their own "This I Believe" essays. Though I originally bought the book (and had my students buy copies) so that I could assign weekly readings from it, I have gotten a great deal of personal enjoyment from reading the essays myself, even the ones I don't assign to the class. This would be an excellent high school or college graduation present, as well. |
