New Conspiracy Theory Readers Needed
It's that time of the year when my English composition students are posting their conspiracy theory essays, and we need readers! If you're willing to help us out, venture on over to:
Posting written work to a blogspot encourages students to produce better essays. They direct family and friends to the blog to view their works. Also, it works great as a portfolio for many of the students. It takes their writings to another level! Of course, some of the writings and oral presentations are better than others, but it's a learning process for all of us.
New conspiracy theories are being loaded daily this week, so check back every evening for new essays and presentations.
If you find yourself in need of something to talk about during the holidays, then head over to our conspiracy theory blog.
Enjoy the conspiracies!

'Tis the Season
Do you find yourself singing along to Christmas tunes this time of the year? Holiday songs are everywhere--in the stores, on the radio, and in television commercials. If you're looking for commercial free Christmas tunes, try Houston's KODA SUNNY 99.1. It'll have you humming a holiday tune in no time!
It's easy to get caught up in all the hoopla and lose sight of the real meaning of the season. But, there's lots of holiday themed activities that encourage students to spread cheer and goodwill. It's important to include and reinforce giving and sharing when planning lessons. Another great way to help others this time of year is by volunteering.

Encourage students to give during the holiday season!
This holiday season help set the mood and get students talking about sharing by using themed music along with writing activities that can be given to others. A gift from the heart is one worthy of sharing.

November is Mustache Month
This month is Mustache Month! But, what does a mustache say about a man? Here's a list of what to expect from a man with a mustache:
full beard--distinguished, scholarly
goatee--outdated and in the past
scruffy--trendsetter
chin line--give me attention
thick mustache--confident
handlebar--pleasant and fun
horseshoe--rebellious
Although your students may not have mustaches yet, there's no reason you can't celebrate the holiday. Take time to make your own mustache, do an interview with a mustached man, or build a timeline of men with distinguished mustaches.
Happy Mustache Month!

"Talkin' Turkey"
Gobble, gobble, gobble...that's not the "Talkin' Turkey" referenced in this week's blogpost title. So, what is "Talkin' Turkey"? It's a fun way to get students to use their writing skills over the Thanksgiving holiday break.
Thanksgiving is a time for fun and family. I remember waking to the smells of turkey and pumpkin pie. I would peer out the window in anticipation of aunts, uncles, and cousins. As the house filled with people, the table was set and an abundant feast appeared on the table. A silence feel over the room and Thanksgiving grace was said. Then, it was time to carve the bird!
After a great meal, elders settled in the living room to watch football while youngsters headed outdoors for an annual game of touch football. Later on, we set up the card table for friendly competitive games of Moon (dominoes) and WaHoo! As the sun set, we bundled in coats and gloves, gave handshakes, hugs, and kisses, and declared we would see each other at the next big holiday get together on December 25. But, let's not rush it...
