This week, we analyzed three poems related to our current unit of study. One of the poems we read and discussed was "The History Teacher" by Billy Collins. In this poem, Collins suggests that by not teaching children the tough truths of our past, we risk cultivating a generation of people who will not be aware enough to lead us into the future. It has been suggested by some cynics that ours is a "historically ignorant" generation, meaning that we are unaware of our history and our culture. Do you agree or disagree with this sentiment? Why or why not? As an individual, what steps do you take to familiarize yourself with the circumstances of the world around you? Finally, what issues or ideas do you believe all students should be aware of and knowledgeable about? Use the RACE model to respond, and feel free to expand upon ideas we discussed in class while analyzing these poems.
