American Literature

For teachers of American Lit who want to MC Pop! FYI: it is a still from the film adaptation of the Secret Life of Bees - that film is extra pop because it features singer/actors Alicia Keys, Queen Latifah and Jennifer Hudson!

Shoot! There's a New York-based group that came to my last school that did a live play/musical performance on bullying. It was amazing. I'll let you know when I remember who they were.

I am looking for a traveling theater group to perform a play or musical for seventh graders this spring. Does anyone have a suggestions?
Thanks!

check out the new graphic novel blogroll & comics creation software links above the discussion forum in the Comics group - we're building a pretty impressive set of resources written by MC POPPERS!

Thought I would share a resource for your students that helps them get background knowledge, review what they have read, or get another view of what the book is about in 60 second segments. Most of the books listed above are part of the 60 second library.
Check out the quick recaps for The Crucible:
