PowerPoint Assignment -- a good review for our unit on the Revolutionary Era in American Lit. 

This is one of the only units in which I ask students to memorize quotations, who said them, and why. 

With this little review, which can be expanded later, I can help them to improve their knowledge of the quotations.

My Del.icio.us Account -- contains many valuable links to resources I've used. The students can visit it for their own use as well.  I make the address to this account public on the first day of class, then mention it several times throughout the year!  (Links I've found during this class are labeled 464).

Spreadsheets -- for use with my Student Council record-keeping.  I found a way to improve my attendance records on Wednesday using the count feature and some shading . . . niiiiice.

(Page 2 of the "Old" spreadsheet contains records I kept for a faculty luncheon . . . you can see we had tons of food.)

Old: SC Roster 0607.xls

New and Improved: SC Roster 0708.xls

 

 

Benjamin Franklin Inspiration File -- one of the largest lessons I teach will soon be a WebQuest.  For now, I've planned the quest using Inspiration, and could probably use the plan itself as a visual to accompany class notes.

Webquest -- the beginning of the aforementinoed Franklin project.  This format takes some time, but it certainly is thorough.  I plan on using video and/or audio clips, and perhaps a little digital storytelling . . . hmmmm.
