Bryan Jack is an extraordinary teacher I have been assigned to blog. He is very adventurous in his assignment with his students. He strives to get them to think outside the box and relate things to themselves. His ideas of creativity are inspiring to me as a student and future teacher. He urges his students to not only understand but relate to history. He wants them to voice their take on things as if the actions were during their time period.
Everyone really needs to go check out his blog!!!

His sister saw this poem written on a wall in Saskatoon during summer of 2010, and brought a copy of it back to share with others. Jack carried a copy around for a long time then made a song of it. It is very inspirational and I can see why he has done so. His sister also took pictures of where the poem was written to allow you to reflect on the setting of the where she found it. It was written on a brick wall in a public stairwell that lead s to an open place. Some may consider it graffiti but as you can see it is much more than that.
What is said in the song that Jack has published on his blog is true. If more people reflected on what they have within themselves they could stop chasing so many other things. I think most people do not realize that we have to find things for ourselves within ourselves. Others can help us find it but we have to have it for them to find. It motivates everyone to find things, search for more, and know that good can be found.
