The view from my bike in Berlin, Germany

What our experiences in Berlin look like thus far

May 16, 2012 in Europe, THINK Global School, Update, Videos

Though I'm not processing my own experiences in video form as of lately (due to lack of time), I'm really please with what I've been able to crank out in Berlin. There are moments when what I've documented for work has impacted me, mostly at Wannsee Haus where the Final Solution was created. In this great city of culture and history, cinematic moments abound. Here are the ones I've caught thus far.

Getting lost in Berlin

Global Studies teacher Andrew McLean sent the students on a scavenger hunt around Berlin, Germany this weekend. Though they were asked to visit points of interest like famous synagogues and the Pergamon museum, students were encouraged to discover new locations and have personal experiences with their new host city. Equipped with their iPhones, they documented each unique adventures to share with peers and reflect afterward. (L. Clark)

ANZAC Day memorial service in Berlin, Germany

ANZAC Day is a time when Australians and New Zealanders pause to reflect on those who fought on foreign lands, believing that they were leaving a legacy for the generations after them. With four New Zealanders and an Australian as part of the TGS community, it seemed like a good idea to attend the ANZAC Day service, this year hosted by the New Zealand Embassy at the 1939-45 War Cemetery in Berlin. Furthermore, they have been studying legacy and memory in World Literature class. Students were asked to reflect on the service and how it is observed in Germany where there has to be a degree of political sensitivity. (A. McLean)

Wannsee Haus & the Final Solution

Global Studies teacher Andrew McLean and World Literature teacher Irene Krugman coordinate a visit to the Wannsee Haus where the conference for the Final Solution took place. At the Wannsee conference, Hitler's top officers developed the document that led to the death of millions of Jews. (L. Clark & A. McLean)

May brought Denver rain, snow, and warmth. And May brought me lows and highs. I started going to bed absurdly early and waking before dawn, because nights were sad and mornings felt productive. I saw growth in @pangeasoven but fell short with my writing. I had a great trip to DC to see family and friends, but I stepped back from Denver and watched her from my bedroom window. . As May leads into June, I’m looking at some big changes. I have a reading next weekend with The Art of Storytelling series. I’m starting a part time job at the Community College of Denver supporting students with digital literacy and ed tech. And most importantly, I get my @charlie.winn02 back from training. . Catch me soon on the Cherry Creek trail cruising back towards some traditional employment (but fear not...I’m still writing and baking).

It was a quick, quality trip back to Indiana. We had bubble waffles. We baked a silly amount of sourdough. We blazed through Dave & Buster’s, and Will scored a jackpot. Most importantly, we spent solid time with these crazy kids, and they got to grow closer to CharCharBinks the Super Squish aka Charlie. He hid Easter eggs. He played basketball with Will. He towed them around the pool like a dolphin. We’ll be back for camping adventures this summer, and hopefully Max will be ready to learn how to bike!

Reflection: it’s not just for students. If I don’t step back from an experience and note my takeaways, I often forget what I learned. My notes from #AWP19 were thick and needed reviewing and distilling. So that’s what I did (link in bio). I shared powerful quotes, thoughtful writer/publishers, and ideas from strong panels on #travel and #memoir. Have you heard any of these writers or publications? What were some of your takeaway from the conference (or writing in general lately, if you didn’t go)?

I mentioned a while ago that I was starting a #microbakery out of my apartment. Now that I’m in business, I’d like to share this fantastic moment with all of you. If you’re in the Denver area or would just like to learn about baking #sourdough bread, head on over to @pangeasoven and check me out! . It’s a little hard to differentiate between the me that enjoys cooking/baking and the me that is turning that into a company, so I may get mixed up every so often. But I plan to post all my baking content over there AND my experimentations and musings about blending food traditions from around the world. I have ideas of also merging my interest in writing with this venture, so all in all it should be an interesting journey to follow. . In honor of chilly #Denver and it’s post-#winterstormwesley recovery, here’s a shot of my first sold loaf merging with the cityscape of the warm and sunny city of four days ago.

This girl’s a natural at birthdays. Look how cool she is. Me thinks the celebration did her in. She was the first one to pass out. . #shibainu #dogsofinstagram

Some projects are worth putting years and even decade into, if the motivation (and the need) comes from a deep, insistent place. Books are not written easily nor overnight. Books have layer upon layers of meaning baked into their lines that their authors obsess over. And when a new one gets released into the world, it’s an accomplishment worthy of celebration. I went to my first of such celebrations tonight. And I look forward to reading these stories set in my new home of Denver. Congrats! . #sabrinaandcorina #kalifajardoanstine #lighthousewriters #denver #colorado #booklaunch #writersofinstagram #writingcommunity #thatwasgoodcake #westword #bestofdenver #shortstories

Look who I got to catch up with at #AWP19 ❤️ This is my only real image from the conference (taken after hours, so does it count?). . That’s because—in true Conference-mode Lindsay fashion—I spent the entire three days soaking up ideas and info like a sponge. I’m about that value for the dollar, so when I see a program full of 500+ panels and who knows how many booths at a book fair, you better believe I’m packing in as much as my lil’ brain can handle. . And it was worth the hundreds I spent in hotels and flights and registration and books. I heard many high caliber writers read and muse, asked publishers point-blank, “How’s your whole industry work?” I heard panelists contemplate issues I debate in my own head as I edit. . And I confirmed that virtually everyone in the writing world is part of it for no logical, fiscally responsible reason. They can’t NOT write ...or be a cog in the machine that affects the world with words. While I certainly wish this work could singularly support most writers and publishers, I love how committed everyone is to their voice and craft in spite of everything that makes it hard to justify. . I’m working on a post to synthesize my learning from the conference. I’ve already made some great contacts that I admire, and I’ve got a boatload of reading to do. . If you were at #AWP19, what did you gain? And if you weren’t, which authors would you want to see IRL?
