    Hey Giannia - you really need to pic your FAV season of the office :)

    Great to have you here!!

    So glad you like the site.

    My wife and I love both the UK and US versions, but I think I've grown to like the UK more maybe because I saw it so long ago.

    Yeah Jim's site (EC) is off the hook. MC POP has a very different slant. We're really looking at pop/media/culture across all the disciplines - I have a very interdisciplinary view of education so that transfers to the site.

    BTW - I'm assuming your at FSU. Good luck with the Bowden situation - they need to find a classy way to deal with that...

    Anyway, come on down, look around and find some useful stuff - be sure you check the discussion forums in the ELA groups for resources Popular Music
    Teach with the Moving Image
    World Literature
    American Literature
    British Lit (sans Shakespeare)
    Making Shakespeare Pop
    Poets and Writers
    Adolescent Literature

    Oh, and if you end up REALLY digging it - invite all your pre-service friends.

    Stay groovy!

    What can I say - we try to be "modern and interesting" :)

    Bobby has to find a way for a graceful exit...but that ACC stuff I don't follow. I'm a big ten dude. Have a great weekend!
