History Lesson

You might find it strange that I am offering a "history" lesson. Ms. Bloom or Mr. Rozzo are normally your history teachers, right? However, when it comes to local history I can't contain myself. I just have to share it with my students.

I came across a fantastic Facebook photo album recently. One of my high school friends who moved from Ashtabula more than 35 years ago actually shared it on his timeline. I rummaged through the photos for nearly an hour. Perhaps you will find it interesting as well.


Which photo is your favorite? Which one do you find most interesting? Did you learn something new about our area? Leave a comment below before August 31, 2016 and receive a no homework coupon for English.

Can you solve this Story with a Hole (by Nathan Levy)? To help you in your quest, just ask me "YES/NO" questions by posting them in the comment section below. I will respond ASAP. Check back often to see my answers and ask more questions until you can "fill the hole!"

Tara was seen taking almost $1000 worth of merchandise from the store without paying for it. The store's hidden camera produced clear evidence of what she had done. Tara was not arrested nor did she have to return what she had taken.


GOOD LUCK... Betcha I can stump you!
