My days are spent teaching history. Each day is a filled with the challenge of guiding students to discover and explain the greatest events and mysteries in the development of our country. Since history is the greatest mystery in the world and Scooby Doo is my hero it only makes sense to combine them both.

Despite his fear Scooby Doo never gives up. He always lets his stomach guide him into haunted mansions, caves, swamps and other spooky places. He'll do anything for a Scooby Snack.

Whether cowering under his paws or hiding in a barrel, Scooby always sticks it out until he manages to find the bad guys and lead them straight into the arms of the law or at least into the arms of the Scooby Gang. How could anyone not like someone who lets his stomach do the talking and always comes out on top?

My students demonstrate the same perseverence that Scooby does by sticking with any assignment until they figure it out and come out on top.

"Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it.
