Bill Sherk taught history to Toronto high school students for more than thirty years. With his dynamic, creative, and occasionally unorthodox teaching style, he instilled in his students a passion for history and learning. Sherk was loved by his students and remained in their memories long after graduation. Keep Up If You Can is a light-hearted and touching memoir that will appeal to anyone who's had a special teacher impact their life.
Fun facts: • He learned the names of all his students on the first day of school. • He assigned ancient names to his ancient history students. They called him Sherkules (SHERK-yoo-leez). • After reading Webster's Dictionary cover to cover, he encouraged his students to coin new words, and many of these were published in his three dictionaries. • Firmly believing in physical activity, he would leap atop his desk and lead his students in an aerobic "Sherkout" to a rock-and-roll beat. |
