QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
Jaimee Harvey (TpT Seller)
I am working on putting one of my larger units on TpT. I use some of your curriculum and I want to provide the necessary credit and access to your materials. Beyond simply providing your name and the curriculum I purchased from you, how would you like me to link the information? Note: I am not including your materials in my curriculum, rather I am referencing it, so that teachers who want my unit can obtain additional support materials from other TpT contributors.

champselysses re: Ayn Rand and Anthem Power Point
Hi,
Are the statements in quotations in slide 8 of the powerpoint statements that Ayn Rand said? If so, where could I find them? I would like to cite your powerpoint in my research paper but you don't have your name on it. But if you don't want to give it out, I understand, I just want to use the statements on slide 8. Again, if the statements in quotations on slide 8 are actual things Rand said, please let me know where to find them. Thanks in advance!

Hi!
I'm not sure what quotes you are referring to on slide 8. Overall, the powerpoint summarizes her philosophies...very little of the powerpoint has quotes. Maybe you were looking at another powerpoint by someone else and got confused? If you can give me further info., I'll be happy to answer/help out how I can.

Dear FWTeacher,
My name is Jack Dennison. I am the Editor-in-Chief of www.FunnelBrain.com, an educational website. I am writing to you because the quality of the work you have posted to PTP distinguishes you as a talented author. I am looking for teacher-authors to create custom study review materials for FunnelBrain (on a paid basis, of course).
These study materials would take the form of online flashcards, quizzes, and study guides for high school and college level courses, as well as for certain standardized exams such as the GMAT, the SAT or the GRE. We are also interested in lesson plans built around activities that can take place on www.FunnelBrain.com.
If you are interested in a paid writing assignment, please email me at jack@funnelbrain.com, and I will respond with details on the available assignments. In the meantime, please feel free to browse FunnelBrain.com.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Jack Dennison

brandycook78 re: Hero Project (HUGE Project) Incl. interview, essay, presentation, etc
Do you think this would work for a freshman class coinciding with The Odyssey unit?
September 1, 2009
FWTeacher (TpT Seller)
I do! I have done it with Beowulf because of the fact that he is a literary hero, and I wanted the kids to see the difference between literary and "real" heroes. So, yes, absolutely!

Hi,
Your webquest looks great, but so many times when I try to implement a webquest, I find that the websites are no longer available. Are you fairly certain these are working websites in your webquest?
