Education Short List

This morning as I listened to NPR, I heard about new letters of Lord Byron’s that are being sold for auction. The broadcast focused on the letters and the sale, and pending purchase, of the letters. But for me, I thought, “Wow, what a great learning opportunity.” For high school, or any poetry teaching instructors, that they could integrate this story and then begin a lesson on this missing letters.

I hope that you find it as captivating as I did.
