World History name tags
In a line on the wall behind Hoffman’s desk and on the side of his classroom, a wide variety of hand-drawn name tags with the names of different historical figures are put up.
The name tags are from Hoffman’s time as a World History teacher, which he still taught when he moved into his current classroom seven years ago. In World History, his students would do a project where they would have to dress up as a key figure from the Enlightenment. The drawings were the name tags that each student would wear, and Hoffman recalls that he has had them for around 15 years, putting them up because he thought they looked neat.
While the memories of the project are nice, Hoffman no longer does this project in his classes, so he feels the decorations are a bit outdated.
“I thought they were cool, so I put them up. But I don't teach World History anymore,” Hoffman said. “And they’re still there, since I haven’t gotten to taking them down.”
