Questions my students ask...
Freshman history is highly entertaining. They love stories (I shared my buffalo experience at Yellowstone this summer), and I think they enjoy notes. (at least I haven’t heard them complain yet. But notes with lots of video clips and sound effects help!)

I am so guilty of everything she lists here. I have always called myself an emotional slut (pardon the language), but there really is a different aspect to purity.
