"Hana's Suitcase" is the award-winning book by author, Karen Levine. It chronicles the story of the Brady Family who were caught up in the Holocaust during WWII and with, Fumiko, a Japanese teacher who discovers a Holocauts-era suitcase with the name, Hanna" on it in the 1990s and begins a quest to uncover exactly who this little girl, "Hanna/Hana" actually was.
My "Hana's Suitcase" story recounts my treasured experience helping one of my students read this book and discover, for herself, exactly who Hana was, too, just as Fumiko had done. There is a surprise twist at the end of this story which helps to make it one of my favourite teaching memories of all time.
"My Hana's Suitcase Story" is the second in a collection of "Teacher" stories culled from experiences I've had in and out of the classroom during my 23 year teaching career.

Behind Classroom Doors II
(Student/Teacher) If you have not read my first book (Behind Classroom Doors) please go do so before reading this one! This is the sequel but I hope you enjoy it! -------------------------- Behind Classroom Doors II- Excerpt: I press my finger against his lips to shush him. He stares at me, watching my hands fumble over my buttons and undo each button. I move it off of my shoulders and let it slide to the floor. My bra is the next to go, I undo it and take that off too. Then I untie the jaw string of the joggers, all while watching his reaction. I pull it down and step out of it but not before my shoes and socks. I'm down to my panties, but it only takes me a few seconds to take them off too. Completely bare in front of him, I walk over and turn the shower on. "I'm sorry that I showed up in men's clothes but I will tell you everything." I open the shower curtain and get inside. The water hits me, running down my whole body. "You need to talk to me too. Because the way that you felt when I walked into your office, is how I felt when I saw you scared on the bathroom floor. I make assumptions and lose the bigger picture." "What's the bigger picture?" He asks. "That we're in love with each other." I hold out my hand for him. "Come in here, so I can show you how much I love you." Shawn stares at my hand. Meanwhile my heart is beating so fast, I've never done anything like this before. Thankfully, he takes off his clothes and grabs my hand.Complete
