The Ordinary World

I am a teacher of 11 years’ experience. I have established a reputation as a pop culture specialist. This year, however, I have been assigned a Literature class.

Fun’s about to happen.

I have a bunch of ideas - most of which aren’t going to work – and so I’d like to share my experiences and ask for any help from any teachers or interested parties.

I’ll try to update this as much as I can. My other responsibilities include Head of Year 10, being on the board of the English Teachers Association of Western Australia, three other classes, four children, a very understanding wife, a huge collection of unwatched films and television shows, and a habit of procrastinating that makes Hamlet look rash.

Sit back, and enjoy; if nothing else, you can warm your hands on the flames when I crash and burn.

I like it, I like it!
The following website is the best resource I can pass on to for teaching literature - seriously. Only it is US based and it sucks when they don't have what you want esp. Auslit.

(she's recommending a website study guide? seriously???? --> YES)
