Hard Core English Teacher. Why be common core when you can be HARD CORE! Sunday, April 22, 2012. Making Comments in Google Docs. I should have known this already, but I stumbled onto this by accident the other day and I thought I would share it with you in case you didn't know it either. Now Microsoft makes a more powerful program with Word. If you are into formatting your document with columns and tables, you can't beat Word. That said, if you are into sharing, Google docs is boss. Another benefit to Go...

Hard Core English Teacher. Why be common core when you can be HARD CORE! Monday, February 27, 2012. What is cooler than sword fighting? Students sword fighting in class, of course.

Hard Core English Teacher. Why be common core when you can be HARD CORE! Saturday, May 26, 2012. The True Lord of the Flies Story? I ran across this newspaper clipping that might be the true Lord of the Flies. Well, not really. I found a web site that allows you to create false newspaper clippings. It's a fun way to fool your students or to actually use in a project. Just have your kids write a newspaper story about the events going on in a book that they are reading. Posted by Lord Alford. I continue to...

Hard Core English Teacher: Romeo and Juliet Allusions
http://hardcoreenglishteacher.blogspot.com/2011/09/romeo-and-juliet-allusions.html
Hard Core English Teacher. Why be common core when you can be HARD CORE! Tuesday, September 27, 2011. Romeo and Juliet Allusions. I continue to call the 1996 version of Romeo and Juliet. Another reason I know that they really liked Shakespeare is the effort that they put into the background. Look at these allusions to Shakespeare plays:. Experience is by industry achiev'd". The Two Gentlemen of Verona. A play on the title of a Shakespeare play -. The Merchant of Venice. Out, damn’d spot! Out, I say!

Hard Core English Teacher. Why be common core when you can be HARD CORE! Monday, February 20, 2012. Romeo and Juliet Rip Offs. It is only fitting.

A Story Found of Two Noble Lovers. Can you thin...

Hard Core English Teacher: Teaching Allusions

Hard Core English Teacher. Why be common core when you can be HARD CORE! Thursday, May 23, 2013. Alternate title - What Is Piggy's Real Name? Allusions can be hard for students to pick up on, mainly because they may not know the source material being alluded to. For example, in Lord of the Flies. And even that is because they saw Treasure Planet. Or Muppet Treasure Island. The story is actually much better with muppets in the place of the book's characters. And Swallows and Amazons. We can point out the ...
