BOB BOONE and MARK HENRY LARSON
Wednesday, November 20
7 pm at The Book Stall
Bob Boone (top) and Mark Henry Larson, both popular Highland Park High School English teachers -- now retired -- talk about Write Through Chicago: Learn About a City by Writing About a City, a writing program and book offering
both teachers and students the opportunity to connect with Chicago and
its remarkable history by writing
about such events as Lincoln's Chicago funeral, the Columbian 
Exposition, the Haymarket Riot, the first McDonald's burger, and Barack Obama's 2008 Grant Park election night speech. The book encourages students to craft a wide range of written forms, from stories and poems to polemics, monologues, diaries, letters and more.
