Head on over to YouTube for our Literary Word of the Week. We take a vocabulary word from literature and let you know the meaning and an example of it being used in a well-known book. Then it’s your turn– make a video response and we’ll give the best one a free eNotes subscription and an iTunes gift certificate.
Summer school teachers, this includes your students! Have fun with it!
That was my gut response a year ago when eNotes approached me about blogging for them. Maybe I could dress up old tales from the classroom to make them interesting to a new audience. Maybe I could talk about the changes technology has brought to education. I might be able to handle, say, a month, outside. But after that? I kept asking myself, what would I say after that? Out loud I said, “I’d love to.”
One year old! I want to thank Alex for his vote of confidence and Scott for his support. I also want to thank Nancy, Marilynn, Dawn, Art, Jamie, and everyone else who has left a comment or forwarded an article or joke. It’s a true for us as it is for our students: knowing we are writing for a real audience keeps us on our toes. The little guy in the baseball shirt is serving cake. Have some!
“But what will I say?”
And now it’s a year later. Topics seem to take care of themselves. I’ve blogged about Shakespeare , solar cells, and semicolons, about poets , politics , and podcasts. The year has gone quickly.
