A short time ago, in a computer lab not far away…. (Just kidding…)

Web Page A theme in the American drama..

Mr. Paul L. Nelson Anderson High English Lit. I, at first, expected to be weighed down with a ton of work that I would simply dismiss after the project was over. I was mistaken! I have always been interested in computers since the days of the “Commodore Pet” computers that appeared in my grammar school classrooms. My expectations now are for me to develop a teacher website for all my classes and continue to learn about computers. I would also love to be able to teach computers classes (someday)! This class has been a lot of work, but very useful. I feel it’s truly a DEVELOPMENTAL course.

Students will be able to respond to literature through listening/speaking, writing, and viewing/representing activities. Students will analyze and interpret new vocabulary words.

Mr. Paul L. Nelson Anderson High English Lit. I created a web page of my own design, including: layout, graphics, text art, clip art, and specific links to other pages and places.

Mr. Paul L. Nelson Anderson High English Lit. This unit has been successful without this extra technology being used the two years I have been teaching it. I am looking forward to having everything available on the site for my student use. This lesson should be easy to grasp and very beneficial for my students. Each year we get different students in our classroom with different work ethics. I hope that this format will appeal to all kinds of students with all level of ability.
