The use of "Life is Beautiful" as the example for this open ended well cited activity is lovely. I always have my special students watch that particular movie (in Italian) during Modern World History and U.S. History; thus, this activity will be a HUGE help for me. Thanks so much for your hard work and I'll be pinning this. Peg :8)

I see Jonathan and Fletcher in my students, and in myself. Many of them simply need One Person to help them to successfully move to the next level. I love Bach's books, especially this one.

kelleyg17 re: James Thurber Collection
Do you sell "The Princess and The Tin Box" worksheet by itself? That's the only one I would really need.

Diana D'Emeraude (TpT Seller) re: Chaucer's "The Wife of Bath's Tale"
Why does the title include "Shakespeare?" It was written by Chaucer. Thanks.

I noticed that your product overview has been updated to say it has been "Revised to include recent links." Since I've already purchased the product with unusable links, how about sending me the new working links. That would be great!
Thanks in advance!!

I purchased your Harrison Bergeron unit but I can't access the videos without a login and password. Please advise.

Vickey Sue (TpT Seller)
I am sorry. Access to links change and that has stressed me. However, YouTube has many video clips. You can download them on your computer and show them on your Smartboard or ActivBoard without a problem from your laptop.
My kids enjoy the story from one year to other. An interesting discussion is centered on how we allow technology to control our lives. Students are digital kids who hold a cell phone as if it is the sixth digit on their hand.

Do you have the rubric and list of movies that you use for the Movie Interpretation Project? Thanks.
Do you have the rubric and list of movies that you use for the Movie Interpretation Project? Thanks.

Vickey Sue (TpT Seller)
No I don't. I allow the students to submit titles. Then we discuss the appropriateness of the content before choosing one. I have adapted the following, which always changes with the film. You could allow students to design their own rubric based on the following: http://www.frankandstacy.net/english-ahs/Film_Review_Rubric.pdf
Taking ownership is exciting for them. I sit back and learn and enjoy with them. THANKS for your interest.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I have taught English/Language Arts in the same non-traditional high school environment for thirty years.
MY TEACHING STYLE
Facilitating learning has been my style. I recognize that if we can make learning fun, students will claim ownership for their education. Often, it is necessary to design those activities(with students)that will stimulate the reluctant learner to become self-directed in a student-centered environment.
