PBS Newshour's Teachers' Lounge features thoughtful essays from educators about a variety of classroom issues, including reflections on how to best teach current events, analysis of issues affecting contemporary youths, and notes about teaching in different settings around the world. While parts of this collection will especially appeal to social studies teachers, these essays may also be of interest to educators of all subjects and age groups. In one recent, poignant essay, high school English teacher Patrick Welsh reflects on teaching the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States over the past fifteen years, and his experiences teaching students, some of whom were the children of Pentagon workers, on the day of attacks. In another essay, social studies teacher Tim Smyth describes how he uses comic books in his teaching.
