As you may know, or have figured out, clicking on the photo above takes you to a webquest. The webquest has been a great success, and I NOW have a basic grammar lesson plan on ALEX. In the meanwhile I have completed a great cultural project along with a scoring rubric. It fits in well with lessons dealing with shopping, food, currency, music...almost anything. Help yourself here.

 

 

 

Evidently it has been way too long since I’ve done anything with this website!

 

If you know me, you know that my emphasis has now gone to JAGS, and the ConvertCast. Definitely my best work to date.

 

Due to the extensive work I've put into this site, I also offer to teachers of all levels and all subjects TRIP. Like they say about the spaghetti sauce - it's in there!

 

Not necessarily the first anymore, but still my favorite is the link for FLTeach, the list server for foreign language teachers everywhere. There are some wonderful people who have contributions to make that you just can't live without hearing. Please add yourself to their list of more than 2,000 subscribers now.

 

Following in this vein, I offer T-Bob's French links. If it's French, it's in there. From Apollinaire to Zola, Aix-en-Provence to Zuydcoote (many thanks to Olivier Robert for a most complete listing of French cities beginning with the letter Z!).

 

 

 

In the summer of 1998 I participated in the Mobile Bay Writing Project. Teachers - if you are ever presented with the opportunity to take part in a National Writing Project workshop of any sort - go for it! I guarantee it will be the most valuable and rewarding thing you've ever done.

 

For five weeks, sixteen classroom teachers from all levels and content areas met, shared demonstrations, and wrote. We wrote, and wrote, and wrote. And then when we thought there were no words left...we wrote some more.

 

I'd like to share some of my writing with you, and invite you to contact me if you want lesson ideas.

Sparky Tails

 

Our major endeavour during the Mobile Bay Writing Project was a series of writings with a common theme. I focused mine on tenure. I present you with the first, an interior monologue, and the third, a piece of fiction. (As soon as I find the second piece, I'll add it.)
