I just read your White Paper and I think you are spot on. In my mind, writing is incredibly important because it prompts writers to think. Literary analysis teaches the analyst how to interpret events and other phenomena. We can't understand…

Gatsby on Google Earth
Do you use technology in your classroom?
How do you use it?
I'm really excited that I've just developed a unit in which students analyze The Great Gatsby using Google Earth. I'm calling the unit, "Gatsby of the Twenties" because students compare the plot, setting and characters of Gatsby to the major themes of the Roaring Twenties.
If you'd like to see a demo-copy of this unit, don't hesitate to ask. You can email me at ap@pass-ed.com.

- Hi Andrew, CEL is the Conference on English Leadership, a constituent group of NCTE. In a nut shell, the Conference on English Leadership (CEL) is a collaborative, dynamic, discussion-based forum for English language arts leaders to explore current and emerging issues. CEL welcomes the involvement of all persons who wish to work with others to seek solutions to problems and to share their special insights with others. Leaders of English programs in a variety of settings--rural or urban, small districts or large, public or private, traditional or experimental--will find a vibrant forum for exploring contrasting and controversial ideas within CEL. To join or learn more, please go to www.ncte.org/cel. I hope this information helps. Of course, if you have further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.

Try this incredibly simple but quite useful analogy to reach students who are struggling with issues of audience and style. Soon they’ll be speaking to, and not at, their audience.
