I remember Ms. Blumberg's 10^th-grade English class with such clarity and fondness. Rather than insisting on a single method for demonstrating comprehension, she encouraged each of us to use our own interests and strengths to learn in a supportive environment. It was in her class that I made my first film, a video interpretation of Lord Jim. Another student wrote an original song in response to the Scarlett Letter. I still to this day remember the words.This experience inspired more than a strong appreciation of Joseph Conrad. It taught us to pursue our own voices and to think creatively about how to observe, interpret and communicate.I feel so fortunate to have been among the lucky ones who learned this lesson early in life, and will be forever grateful to Ms. Blumberg.
