Lew Powell's Frostbitten Feet

[RJNorton]

Betty, my 8th graders got a big kick out of Lewis' problem during my mock trial unit. I had several copies of "Twenty Days" in my classroom, and his "issue" is mentioned in there. Believe me, kids who are 13/14 years old have an absolute fascination with this "issue." I felt inadequate as their teacher in giving much of an explanation; one time a kid asked about it front of the entire class, everyone started laughing, and so did I. Mostly, though, the kids would just ask about it in small groups after school.
