Highschool Beowulf Summaries Sparknotes

shared by Caitlin Stevenson on 21 Sep 10 - Cached

Caitlin Stevenson on 21 Sep 10

This is a site similar to sparknotes. It has summaries, analysis, character lists, and quizzes. What I liked about this site is the Why Should I Care section they have for every book that describes why they are studying this book in a witty way. If used as a tool and not a substitution for reading the book i think it is a great asset for teachers and students.

This site is a resource for teachers, students, and parents. It points the viewer in the right direction when looking for any piece of literature. It is helpful because sometimes more obscure pieces have very limited information and this site has a variety of ways to access more.

Although this is sometimes a little inappropriate (as always with Taylor Mali) it hits on a very important topic that we will look at as English Teachers - Proofreading. Pretty much all of Taylor Mali's poems has relevancy and maybe you've seen this or others, but I definitely think it's worth checking out again!

James Loewen actually came to Allen last year and I hope you guys had a chance to listen to him. He knows a lot about education and even more on segregation and desegregation and the real truth behind them. Here, he exposes some of the lies in textbooks. Take that Texas!

Although technology can certainly be useful in the classroom, some scientists argue that too much technology can do more harm than help. Here's one researcher's viewpoint. Check it out and decide for yourself.

For those of you who are in English because of your love of language, Bill Bryson's Mother Tongue is a fascinating and entertaining book all about our wonderfully weird language: English. I have read a lot of Bryson's stuff and he's one of my favorite writers. But this particular book can be helpful for English teachers, as it better acquaint them to the language they will be teaching.
