Ostrovsky, Max

"Words. Words. Words."

Hamlet may have had mixed feelings about the power of words, but his creator, Shakespeare, certainly did not. We will explore the power of words - reading, writing, and speaking them to achieve a greater understanding of ourselves and the world.

As a lover of words and a writer, I know how to create a classroom where we will work collaboratively to travel through the hidden meanings of words, symbols, allusions, and structure to discover ourselves and our world. I know because I've been there. I am a world traveler, a road tripper, a musician, a dancer, a martial artist, and a very proud geek, nerd, and father.

Mr. Ostrovsky's (borrowed) philosophies on how to be a human being:

Never be cruel.

Never be cowardly.

Remember: Hate is always Foolish and Love is always Wise.

Always try to be Nice, but never fail to be Kind.

Laugh hard. Run fast. Be kind.
