It’s student quote time again.
In my ninth grade humanities class, we’re studying the forced migration of the Cherokees and other peoples in the first half of the nineteenth century. Today, during our break, I discovered one of my students perched on the edge of the large rolling trash can in the hallway, propelling herself down the corridor with a rather abstracted look on her face. I asked her why she was riding the garbage, and she said very earnestly, “I’m on the Trail of Tears!”

Perhaps you need to include more works from the Theatre of the Absurd in your reading list. Or perhaps have the class collaborate on their own such play.
