My favorite vacation spot is a sunny beach at the lake. I just realized that the question asked about a novel, but I am currently reading “Know My Name”, a memoir by the survivor of the Stanford sexual assault. Highly recommend.
Teaching through Covid has made me realize that each learner is an individual with individual concerns, challenges, risk factors, needs, fears, etc., etc., etc. I was always aware of this, but it has become much more clear and obvious to me in the past year. It has been difficult to get and keep students engaged online. I am sure they feel like they are not getting the full experience of their education. I continue to try and find ways to fulfill their expectations of their courses.
