Google Assessments :o]

Here's the link to the "Romeo & Juliet" Quiz One. This google capability is amazing...this is very practical for online courses, since results can immediately be viewed and classified alphabetically. The instructional video was also very easy to understand. The questions all are capable of being answered correctly in my 9th Grade clinical Literature class.


Take it, go on!

Rubric!!

I am very glad there is such a web page as Rubistar. In my clinicals right now, I am actually helping my cooperating teacher with the instruction of Shakespeare's "Romeo & Juliet." I was given the option of assigning a short essay or create a mixed (T/F & Matching) assessment. In a couple weeks I am going to assign a persuasive essay, and eventually use this in my portfolio. The existing criteria is a nice thing to build on, and if I wasn't a poor college student, I would contribute to this site. :o]





rubric: Romeo & Juliet.

Windows Movie Maker!

Although I had the program, Windows Movie Maker, I've never used it. The program turns out to be very easy; however the instructional video in the course assignment was greatly appreciated! This is the first assignment, in a good while, which I haven't experienced some form of technological difficulties. :0] My computer, which I purchased for Christmas, does not have PowerPoint, so I use my roommate's computer...not the greatest piece of technology. Anyhow... transferring, saving, and publishing the slide show from PowerPoint to Windows Movie Maker makes the video not only easily accessible from my computer, but to post on the web, email, or use in the classroom. I will definitely be using this program again...Who doesn't like a movie?

Published Presentation

PDF & FTP

The first link to is to the PowerPoint I uploaded, published, & previewed; the second one is the FTP link where I saved the PDF version I downloaded from Google, since you cannot publish PDF, only "share." I did 'share' it with the instructor. PDF is preferred, since it's so compatible. It was work figuring this out...however, I believe I have a basic understanding now. *wipes brow. The presentation is a group project from my undergrad studies of applying Literary Theory & my favorite author, Sylvia Plath. Enjoy.

Jeopardy PowerPoint!

Here's the Link to my Jeopardy Game; it features 12th Grade English Literature questions concerning five studied authors [Shakespeare, Milton, Poe, Chaucer, & London.] The questions are challanging, yet possible. :o] I've never used Action Buttons before, so it did take a while to understand the format. I would like to use this game-presentation in my student teaching next fall semester!



Thank you Alex.

PowerPointing...

Here's the link to a PowerPoint presentation on the History of Book Burning. I selected this topic, as a secondary English educator, because it will hopefully motivate students to think of literature/English classes not as a requirement- but as an opportunity for knowledge. I have constructed PowerPoints and used them before in classrooms-slide shows are amazing assets/outlines for teaching.

Here's the correct link! *Added 3/13/09. Sorry!!

PODCASTIC!

Well....to make a long-story short...[after repeated computer services phone calls, downloading the wrong Audacity program, being unable to successfully access my FTP] Here's the finished product! A 4:30 minute, complete with music, 9th Grade introduction lesson on Edgar Allen Poe & "The Masque of the Red Death." The only file I was able to successfully save was the incorrect voice-over....but here's the end result. Enjoy. Although this has been the most frustrating project, I am glad I now have the ability to podcast-and apologize for the late submission.

It's Poe, Yo.
